Topic	How do you guys type?
ParanoidObsessive 06/25/20 8:54:10 PM #3:	I basically self-taught myself to two-finger type without looking at the keyboard years before my middle school eventually had classes to try and teach full-on 8 finger ASDF/JKL; typing. As a result, I basically typed faster my way than their way, so I deliberately avoided learning to 8-finger type by passing all the tests "wrong". It's possible that I could have typed faster their way if I'd be able to break my existing habits, or if I'd learned their way first, but I've never had the motivation to do so. And I almost always write stream-of-consciousness anyway, which works fairly well with the speed at which I type. So I'm not sure I'd want to be able to type faster even if I could. If anything, my typing speed is probably balanced out by the fact that I sort of speed-read, so my overall time to read something and write a response is probably the same as someone else who reads the initial post slower but then can write a reply faster anyway. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:941263019] in How do you...
