Do you have actual data on this? Otherwise I'm very tempted to call typical mind.
On the claim:
It seems that I was wrong.
The following sources contradict me: http://calorielab.com/burned/?mo=se&gr=09&ti=miscellaneous+activities&q=&wt=150&un=lb&kg=68 and http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/Calories_Burned/
Some random Internet comments corroborate me. For instance, scott preston writes at http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/03/stephan-spencer-seo-future-search.html: "In fact speaking takes a lot more energy to than typing does."
I'll look this up more and update if I find more reliable information.
I would expect the relevant factor to be mental, not physical, exertion. Unfortunately that's a lot harder to measure.
btw, I think I can both talk and type for far longer durations than the median world resident. But my typing stamina may be substantially greater than my talking stamina, so I may be expressing typical mind fallacy in the proportional angle.
