I found it often the opposite with ytalk. Yes, some people would just plow through it and make the best of things. And one could already be thinking about a response in real time.

But other people would find the need to correct every typo. And it was painful as crap watching someone with a 5 WPM typing speed and an affinity for typos to get through what they were trying to say. And eventually you move past thinking about a response in real time to screaming "JUST STOP TYPING ALREADY!!!!"

I just start typing my response, or finish the thought for them, maybe with a question mark to give them room to correct me if I mis-predicted.

I've spent many hours using ntalk and I love it. It is true though that it lowers the fun when the other person is a slow typist.
