Hi, thinking about the Freedesktop XDG specifications, I think it would be easier to set typiskt's cache dir at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/typiskt, and have that default to ~/.cache/typiskt if XDG_CACHE_HOME is unset, so that you don't need to have the cache-dir option nor TYPISKT_CACHE variable, since the user can control the cache folder through the aforementioned XDG variable. I think it's more elegant this way

Very good idea. And it's a oneline fix for me. I will include that in the next version. Thank you! What's your WPM?

Well, It was around 40 when I started using your program; now it's ~75:) (just checked by looking at the scorefile)
