air-typing

The ability to type semi-coherently in thin air, as if you were using a full QWERTY keyboard. Computer geeks can usually do this with near 100% accuracy, and it is usually computer geeks who will be proud of being able to do such a feat. Uses the traditional tenses of "typing" (air-type, air-typed, air-typer, etc.)

Geek: I'm awesome, I just air-typed that entire program. Air-typing FTW!
Anyone else: Geek. Get a life.

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.
