They probably never signed a key. The fastest method I use work if
someone uses a printout in a standard size.  I then take that the
paper slip, put it directly onto the display surface, just below the
displayed fingerprint, and I am able to find a mismatch at a glance.

Nowadays that everyone has a business card with a fingerprint, this
doesn't work very well anymore ;-).

Yes, that are just 6 words.  And well it does'nt matter mutch if you
accidently use Berta instead of Bravo.
