OK Typewriter

DocumentJosiah and I discovered an old-timey typewriter this evening, and in approximately five minutes, we had composed a beautifully-formatted piece of prose which can function as a résumé, business letter, or Radiohead liner notes.

I love the “old timey” part. Odds are, it is the same as what I used growing up. I’m sure your parents loved having equipment they used being called old. Might I suggest some alternative words to “old” so as not to offend some of your…seasoned readers (there is one). Well, you could use the afore mentioned “seasoned.” You could go with “experienced.” How about refering to it being in its twilight years.

Don’t forget:
- wizened
- around the block
- well-used
- oft-enjoyed
- durably constructed

I’m so going to find some place where I don’t want to work, and send this in as a resume. It would definitely stand out! ;-)
