Why thankyou
I may not be the fastest typer. I can't hear what people tell me to type as fast as I can type and I can't read as fast as I can type. So I'm not sure I'd be much use getting a job that I might want that would involve it
But when it comes to spontaneous typing - it's totally natural to me.
I started typing when I was 6 years old. And learnt to type with all my fingers and both my thumbs in about half an hour. I've never done with less than all my fingers and thumbs and both my hands.
I spent about 29 minutes on the 'home keys' and feeling confused - and then the last 1 minute I remember thinking something like: "Oh....don't you just use the finger/thumb that is nearest to the key you want...is that right? Whatever is comfortable?" and that was that.
14+ years on computers, 7+ years online, pretty much daily.
I'm not the fastest or most accurate typer, but it really is second nature to me - totally natural - as easy as thinking (easier actually I think! Easier getting it all down). Like thinking aloud (only in writing rather than sound, so not exactly 'loud' lol).
Bah enough of that. But thanks anyway; and thanks for the remark that you liked my post
