How many people out there type the way you're "supposed" to?

How many people out there type the way you're "supposed" to? I used to hunt and peck, but got really good at it, and now correct my mistakes and type with 2 fingers without looking at the keyboard at all. what about you guys?

 

[konichiwa]

Not exactly the way I'm "supposed to" (I hit the spacebar with index finger, and don't use pinkies very much -- my hands move about a bit more than they probably "should) but I type pretty damn fast.

 

[wfbberzerker]

I working on that, but for the time being, I chose "I'm an adept hunt and pecker just like you!" 😱

I learned to type on a manual typewriter back in the stone ages and it has stuck with me. Yup, I type with all my fingers while looking elsewhere.

I type almost the way I'm supposed to. I don't use the proper fingers for non-letter keys. I use the number pad for numbers and middle or index fingers for ", '. >/ \ = - etc

 

[WinkOsmosis]

I type normally but I don't use my pinkies. It's only qwerty anyway, and it sucks no matter what.

 

[aswedc]

I type the wrong way and do it faster than most people who type the right way.

 

[acidvoodoo]

if you mean use the homekeys, i don't. i just type freely, my hands sometimes cross etc

 

[isaacmacdonald]

i use a natural keyboard. I definitly utilize a bizzare typing method but it's still in the 50wpm range.

The backspace key has ruined my typing. I guess I'm faster now, but less accurate because it doesn't matter if you make a mistake.

 

[CoolTech]

Id say I type 70 wpm or so with my method

typing is the best class I ever took in high school, it's the only one that gave me a useful skill.

 

[CoolTech]

so, english, math, science didnt have any impact on anything you do today, haha, yah right.

 

[Yossarian]

not at the high school level

 

[brtspears2]

I don't know how I learned how to type. I think it was the internet and AOL IM where the bulk of fast tying and poor grammer and spelling.

 

I've got my fingers on Home Row as we speak. 🙂

 

[Amused]

I'm a two and three finger typist. I tried and tried and tried to learn the conventional way, but it just never stuck.

If anyone wants to learn how to touch type, you gotta try "The Typing of the Dead". It's a shooter with typing instead of guns. It was even an arcade game very briefly.

type or die

[ScottyB]

I type funky, it is hard to explain.
