However, it costs a great deal more to race a car, or fly a plane than it does to ride a horse... and I think that was the author's point. Horse-riding is something that you either DO in real life, or you don't. Nobody is THAT into horse riding to buy this that wouldn't be taking lessons and/or have their own horse, which is why this is ridiculously stupid.

I mean, I shine reflected sunlight at people walking outside our dorm, and they've tried to kill me on more than one occasion.

It's not so much that typing makes your handwriting worse as it is that LACK of writing does. I realize they are practically one and the same, but there is a BIT of a difference.

"Hi, yes - uh, I'd like to change my order. I ordered my F-22 yesterday, but today on your website I see that you already have a better version... can I upgrade my order, or is it too late?"

Reminds me of my dad when he orders his new laptop every two years, lol.
