What's next

One last thing

Stop typing. Start Typisting

The dictionary has a new word

typ·ist·ing
/ˈtaɪ.pɪst.ɪŋ/verb
  1. The act of having a Typist do your typing for you.
  2. Specifically, for $12.50 a month.
  3. A full-time hire that never sleeps, costs less than your coffee subscription, and types at 200× real-time.
Example of typisting in a sentence
"I was typisting all afternoon while I went for a three-hour walk."
— a podcaster, finally outside, 2026
