Sojourner Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 [quote name='KnightofChrist' post='1253052' date='Apr 22 2007, 12:52 PM']But who has to look at the keyboard still? lol My friends think its weird that I can talk to them face to face and still type out sentences paragraphs at the same time. Sure not everything is spelled right but I do that all the time anyway.[/quote] I do that too. I haven't looked at the keyboard to type in years. Unless I'm typing one-handed. I write that way too ... came in handy reporting. People like when you look at them as you're talking to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbug16 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) I have my own random method. I never use my pinkie fingers. However, I am a pretty fast typer. Edited April 22, 2007 by goldbug16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 All five fingers. I learned to type way back in the sixth grade, one of the most practical and useful skills I ever learned. I'm a fast typer, I can do between 100-120 wpm if I'm really going fast, but if I'm just typing comfortably it would be more like 80 wpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigid Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I was at 61 wpm... *hangs head* It's okay. I'm younger than everyone here (or so I think... I'm too lazy to check everyone's profliles) except for iggyjoan, so I'm letting that be my excuse. and I type the five (well, ten) fingered way. except I use the left shift key no matter what... I'm not sure why. I just shift one of my fingers over when I'm doing a capital A or Q or Z... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
