hold on lemme put on my ~serious typing mode~ for this



Hello there, fellow residents of the tower!  ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ My name is Sayaka Miki, and I'm here to teach you how to use a computer.

If you can see this, congratulations! You've already mastered the steps of reading and looking at a screen, and of  navigating your way TO this handy guide.

First, let's cover the common mistakes.

1 - No, there aren't people inside the strange little box! I know, I know.

2 - Yes, it really does relish your cries of frustration when you fail at using it. That's a computer's secondary power source.

3 - Do you see a key that says "Shift?" There are two of them, and (via holding one down while pressing another key) they let you Use Proper Capitals and access some other c**| $ymb@|$.

4 - There's a really big blank key. That's what you do to keep yourwordsfromlookinglikethis. Hold           it          down         to        get       more      space!

5 - That weird red squiggle that pops up sometimes? That means you've spelled something wrong.

And here's a special rule from a guest speaker:

"Don't forget the magic of the goddamn punctuation keys.

That dot on the keyboard? That's how you end a sentence. That question mark on the keyboard? That's how you ask a question. You know, like a normal person."

That's all I can think of for now - but I'll be editing this! After all, it's for everyone's benefit~.

Then wouldn't it have been better to just ask them if they wanted lessons than assuming everyone's the same level of ignorant? And that's even assuming that the people who are doing it wrong actually care.

Breaking your own rules, much?

But then why should anyone listen to you about typing properly when you don't do the same?

That's not even close to being the same thing.
It's more like having a math teacher who can't count or a chem teacher who expects you to know the periodic table by heart when they still have to look stuff up.

Then I guess have fun having people ignore you?
