How many of you Forumers can type 'properly' Do you plod along with two fingers like me :blush: or can you 'touch type' like Mrs Draggletail? :mrgreen: If you do type with two fingers, are you pretty damn fast? :hihi:

Two fingers, reasonably fast, with occasional use of more fingers.....

Accuracy...well....er.....not great!

I can touch type but not when I'm being watched for some reason, so people don't believe me when I say I can.... :D

When I was younger at school and college, I did a couple of short touch typing courses, but as an Engineer, most of the typing I had to do at college was just numbers, and certainly not words, so I never kept it up properly, bear in mind that this was long before PCs and usable word processing packages. And I did lots of programming and stuff.
However I retain a loose typing style which is very fast and uses most of my fingers and my rh thumb for the space bar.

A few fingers, mainly my thumbs and my index fingers. Accuracy is relatively good, I think!

I can touch type. I find it easier not to look at the keys. I suppose I should be able to type really as I am a Sec/PA in the day!

I have word processing qualifications to RSA level 2 standard.

I can type pretty fast as well, too fast sometimes, hence the odd accidental typo.

I type quite slow as i'm usualy eating at the same time, it's my spelling that could use a refresher course.

Touch typing - learned it when I was about 13 on a crappy portable typewriter my Dad bought from his work - it had an easy learning guide with it. You can imagine how people were amazed that a kid could type at 'full speed' without looking. I used to be able to type faster than my secretary (when I had one) - but she didn't do all the typo errors that I did.
