I reckon it's a good thing I ain't still in school. :D  Now I know dang well my accuracy was better than that.....way better.  But I'll take the blame as long as I get all the credit.

My posts reflect my typing skills, very few posts consisting of short choppy sentences . The only time I use two fingers is when my left hand index finger is on the shift key and the right index finger ( MY TYPING FINGER ) hit another key.
I usually lose my train of though while looking for the right key to punch :(

Once again, I say THANK YOU Mrs. Moore. Wonderful Wonderful lady. And I hear she's STILL teaching, she'd been there "for-ever" when I left there 18 years ago. She's gotta be 80.

Great link Jeff!

I'm speedy...but not so accurate!   :  I can still hear Mrs. Peterson telling me, "Dan, it's not a race!  You need to SLOW DOWN and become more accurate." 

I think now though, I'm pretty stinking quick with the backspace key and fix things on the fly...my overall accuracy after reading the test was pretty accurate, but there was a lot of backspacing goin on.

I'm with Corley5, those are about my numbers too. Actually I can still type with my hands on the keyboard as taught in typing class but rarely do. Oh, by the way, I married the best typest in the class and we will celibrate (? sp.) 38 years in Oct. and it keeps getting better!! ;D

[pigman]

maple flats,
When I first read your post I thought you were saying you were celibate.

  But Bob, he says it's gettin better every year.  : : :D :D :D :D

Much eisier to type with the words coming from  the brain than a paper or screan.  I took typing in HS went from 15 wpm to 30 in one year! I had to use the old manual type writer. Used to do the touch type in school .but hadn't typed for 30 years . I now can type with two fingers and some times as many as four.  It is surpriseing that I remember where the letters are at times.

[pigman]

I keep hearing everyone praising their typing teacher. Well, I had the worst typing teacher in the country. :( He didn't know the first thing about teaching  >:(. He couldn't even type himself. : It is a wonder I can even type at all!
You see, I never had a typing class, I was self taught. ;D

I musta had dat same DanG useless sad excuse of a teacher.   :-\

Chet da nontypist

[Gipper]

Had two years of it in high school - 9th and 10th grades - back in the early 1960's.  Got pretty decent at it then, even on the old manual Royal typewriters.  I think there might have been a few of the Underwoods in there the 1st year.  Used the skills learned a great deal through college and then in my chosen profession, prior to retirement. 

Not nearly as proficient at it now!  Fingers must be a little larger (or the keys are a little closer together  ;D.)  And is seems that arthritis, bursitis, and the other 'itis boys sure have a way of slowing the finger movement. :D

I am not about to pick on anyone here for the hunt and peck. I started out that way, and worked my way into it gradually. I still watch the keyboard while I type, but don't need to.

I found that forums like this one,a nd active chat rooms make your typing skills grow quickly. it is hard to keep up in a conversation if you don't learn to type faster. It all comes in time like anything else. I am sure I will not learn to run a mill overnight either, so in the end everyone ends up on the same level.

My boys are always making fun of my  typing skills.  :   I took one semester of typing in high school and didn't learn a darn thing....guess that is partly my fault since I usually picked that class to skip out on.  ;D   My boys started leaning typing in elementary, they call it key boarding. Their fingers fly over the keys, it is amazing. I get by pretty well, especially if the words are in my head and not written down on a piece of paper. I really have tried not to look at the keyboard, since I do know where all the letters are and everything, but habits are hard to break and my eyes just seem to go there inspite of myself. Kinda like telling Norm to not look at the girlie calender on the wall everytime he walks by....he just can't help himself!  :D
