I tried to write some of these. Do you agree . This exercise helped me a lot
to understand better :-))).

That can be - but the more I become familiar with reading SW with speed -
itīs kind of stumbeling if there are "typos" - mistakes. Looking at this gif
I realize that special finger-placements for angle-hands are preserved for
the right or the left hand. Mixing up the two sides does interrupt a
fluently reading.
