Let me point out wrong usage of the words 'writer', 'typist' and typewriter. A member asked how he can become a writer with 100 words per minute speed. He got a reply that practice could make one a good typewriter.

Let me explain that writer means an author and not one who types. So, it would be better to ask how he may be a typist with 100 words per minute or how he could increase typing speed.

Practice can make you a good typist. This may also make you a good writer in the sense that your writing skill, style and grammatical usage improves.

In brief:

Writer is an author. Typist is one who types. A typewriter is name of machine used to type.
