It's an all-year-round situation, in fact. Because of the arrangement
of our room, in which both of us are sitting at computers, he is
pretty well behind me. He can see everything I type; I can't see his

really small font, while mine displays at 24pt. Sometimes my typos are
read out to me before I've started the next word, which can be very
irrigating.
