I personally use the monkey technique, pecking for keys. A monkey pecker, if you will. Uhm, yeah.

I just noticed how weird it is in my computer lab when I'm mashing on the keyboard and mostly everyone else is typing all perfect. I skipped the typomopgramaphy class in high school and I'm not particularly interested in doing it correctly, but I'm wondering how special I am.

To refresh the memory on Mrs. Beacon:



i had that program on my old hp, i got good at typing. Im taking keyboarding now, we use microtype pro and it all diffrent, intercoursers.

I type almost-correct. I don't look at the keyboard, and I keep my fingers on home row, but I don't use the right shift, left shift only. Growing up only half of the keyboards I used had a right shift, so I never bothered with it since it wasn't always there for me :'(

You guys all suck at typing. I learned Dvorak in about three weeks.

...Dvorak FTW.

Dvorak would put me in the Beacon category, I think.  It basically forces you to type correctly, especially if you don't have a real Dvorak keyboard and are forced to learn to touch type because reading the keys doesn't get you anywhere.

With Qwerty it was more like... a spider.  Maybe a spider monkey?  I wouldn't hunt and peck, but I'd have my fingers spread all over the keyboard, not on the home row.

I think that Ms.Beacon likes to play Mr.Monkey too.
