Typing Quirk

A form of typing in which certain letters are replaced by numbers or other symbols that look relatively similar to the original letter, such as using '3' instead of an 'E' or '1' instead of 'I' or 'L'. Typing Quirks are commonly seen as beneficial to people with Dyslexia, as the symbol-replacements catch the reader's attention. They are also commonly used among emo culture, and Homestuck fans.

Typist Terror

The fear that one experiences whilst typing with a friend or colleague overlooking.

Capable of reducing typing speed and accuracy to the level of a preschooler.
I'm a great typist most of the time, but when someone is looking over my shoulder I succumb to Typist Terror and make a complete idiot out of myself, I hope my boss doesn't see...

Typist

A person who spends lots of time chatting, and chatting, and chatting - on a dating app - but never wants to meet in person.

You want to meet for coffee on Thursday? That sounds lovely , but I have relatives visiting from China and we are going to the Bronx zoo.
I’ve been talking to this guy on Grindr and he seems pretty cool, but I’m nervous that he’s a typist. I want to meet up and he keeps making excuses.

typosquatter

Someone who registers the name of a website so it is one letter off or very similar to another, more popular website. The intention of a typosquatter is that the people who mistyped the site they originally tried to visit will be redirected to this other, false site. Almost all the time, these sites have viruses, porn, or try to scam you in some way. A typosquatter is simply making a lame attempt at gaining visitors to their fake, junk website by preying on unfortunate people, whether they have bad spelling or simply mistyped the web address.
Mike is the constant victim of a typosquatter because of his bad spelling. He gets to fake sites by typing things like goofle.com, faceboook.com, and youtibe.com.
