I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this angle sooner, it seems obvious in retrospect. It’s also a fantastic argument to collect other typewriters and write with their individual idiosyncrasies. I am unlikely to do that to any great extent, though.

Technically, this is a banner day: I did not make any obvious mistakes when writing that and really nailed it on the first try. I don’t believe I made any non-obvious mistakes, either, but then that’s what I would say, by definition.
