I was terrible at typing too, we did that in grade 9. My speed was terrible, so in grade 10, I took an optional typing-based class, but it turned out to be a mix of typing plus teaching you how to do reports and letters and all that formatting and shit. The first thing we did was paragraphs, but since i typed really slow, I didn't get to finish transcribing the paragraphs and failed the first assignment. We kept doing speed tests, and i got faster and faster and that was my only goal out of that class, so I was happy. I also did well on everything after paragraphs, because I could finish them on time, so walked out of "typing" class with a respectable 80-something. Yay typing. (P.S. Did you use typewriters? We did not use typewriters. Did you, or anyone else, use "All The Write Type"?) It wasn't ever word speed I had an issue with; 95-100 WPM. It was the typos and not adhering their version of "home row typing". It's kind of half home row, half something else lol We didn't use typewriters for class, but I'd been using typewriters for years before that though, as well as my old 286 computer. |

I had such a hard time with that, I just fucking loved single-finger plucking. It's a slow-down to force yourself to home row, but after a little bit it worked really well. Who says high school was a waste of time (in class time I mean, not booze and broads in the back seat of your Corsica time)

I just ended up adapting my own version of home row... they didn't like it but it worked more efficiently for me, minus the typos. lol

I had a stretch of about 3 years when I was really accurate, or at least spent more time caring to fix my typos. I have since stopped and got really lazy. Particularly here, where it rarely matters.

I never get on your case about typos. Unless it's "Honurs" because the irony there was just a precious.

Well, that's a lie... lol While there was irony with this last one, you do it quite a bit actually... especially when you're pissed of that I'm not conforming to your line of thinking in our debates. It's part of your thing. "Oh, I'm not convincing him?! Let's attack his grammar, spelling, character, intellect or something."  It's the way you get everyone to believe that I'm "raging" when I'm not. |
