[Coco] Decypher this code!

[Roger Taylor]

I took Typing I and II in high school and also owned a few old manual 
typewriters before I bought my first CoCo 2.  In fact, I typed many 
of my first BASIC programs on a manual typewriter that weighed 
probably 40 lbs.  It was good practice.  I couldn't "weight" to get 
my first computer.

Anyway, the messed up typing you showed appears to be from an old 
typewriter that had the paper grip lever not fully engaged (or 
worn).  The paper was allowed to shift slightly left and right over 
time which is why the letters seem to float upwards and 
downwards.  I've seen it many times.
