I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.
Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?
I do touch type, but I don’t use the standard finger placement. I had typing class in school, which I’m grateful for, but what really got my typing speed up were ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger.
