When I was first licensed, in the '50s, there was a "game" that some 
chose to play.  Those playing this game were almost always novices.  The 
game was to gradually increase your sending speed until the other op 
yelled uncle by sending "pse qrs".  Of course, you started this game at 
your own risk.  I have listened to exchanges where the originator of the 
game was himself "burned", as it was called, by inadvertently picking on 
someone who was more proficient than he was.  I never tried playing the 
game myself, but was on occasion the victim of it.

Even today, new CW ops can often send faster than they can receive.  I 
am elmering a young technician who sends much faster than he can 
receive.  Before anyone gets their shorts in a knot, we are 
communicating on 6 meters.
