Oh, and this.

Oh, I was drunk at the time. Wasn't it obvious?


Actually, I did exactly what I said I would do. It's just that I'm not spending that much time 'ere anymore.

I like this forum.

Should've been 5 to 1 seeing as how you can't find the "H" button.

Seriously. I thought programmers and techies didn't really care about typing. One of my friends even said that only secretaries need to know 'ow to type.

i dont use the home row. i used to *kinda* use the home row when i used one desktop regularly and had the same keyboard (a split MS something something) but after that I got to using this laptop, that laptop this desktop another one etc, and now i just put my thumbs on the space bar and get to work.

i rarely bother to look at my fingers, so im not hunting, im just typing....strangely

Do you mean "Do you know HOW to type?" Or are you asking if it's painful to type and I saw 'ow when I'm typing because my fingers hurt?

I type about 100WPM. I type slow on a QWERTY keyboard, but I'm much faster on my Dvorak keyboard. I like blank keyboards the best, because then I can't cheat and "look" at the keys when I'm typing. Are you using a Das Keyboard and you can't find your H key? With the Dvorak layout, it's between the 7 and 8 and down 2. (between B and M, and up 1.) It's between the d and the t horizontally. Good luck finding you H key. Perhaps some day you will achieve your goal of finding your H key.

I was going to buy a Das Keyboard once, but I went for the diNovo from logitech.

Is it missing a key?

And your friend is an idiot.

Follow-up question: For those of you who type correctly, did you take a class in college? Was it required? Did you learn by yourself?

Reason bolded below.

know 'ow to type.

And you refuse to answer why you type so stupidly.

He answered it in another thread. He posted a video clip from Family Guy where Stewie was trying to teach the English girl how to enunciate her h's and talk with an American accent.

I don't understand why he keeps typing like that though.

Because he's an attention whore, even if it's negative attention.
