That will happen a few years from now.
Perhaps sooner if grammar nazis start their conquest of the gaming world.

Because most of the times that I miss 'o' I hit 'p', rather than any other letter. Occasionally I might hit '9' but that is a rarity.

You all realise, that in another ten years or so, someone will start a thread asking about the origin of the term; 24age.

It would appear that countrygrl has just 24'd this thread.
Because the pinky finger is used to hit both the 'o' and 'p' keys. The 'i' key is usually used by the ring finger.
Of course, I could be completely BSing it. *prepares to be 24'd*

Read page 1, obliterate.
If you type correctly, you'll use your right ring finger for 9ol. and your pinky finger for 0p;/ then -['SHIFT and so on, for more distant keys.

It depends on what system you use. I personally use thumbs for space and (mainly) my index and middle fingers for most everything else. You move your hand a lot, but I find it works.
Sure, it works, but that doesn't make it efficient.
Well, I end up typing about as fast as I can figure what exactly to type (read: grammar, structure, wording, etc.), and frankly I don't want to have to unlearn a method and start from scratch.
It's called "leet speak". It actually used to be popular and "cool" to use it, but then the masses started accessing the internet and legions of pre-pubescent kids started typing with it non-stop, and everyone got sick of it.

Luck of the draw. P is typically typed with same finger as o.
EDIT: I should check for more pages before I post >.>

I'm an oddity, I type i, o, and p with the ring finger. I almost never use my pinky except for enter, backspace, and right control/shift.
