...The apostrophe key right next to the semi-colon?

I always hit the wrong one when I'm typing. Tis a pest.

*stabs keyboard*

I just feel for the enter key and move one key left. It isn:t that bad, really' depending on how accurately you type.

I;d have to agree, I am a very accurate typer, so it;s really no problem for me.



Really though, I type really fast so I'm always making mistakes. Thank goodness for the backspace key.

There's always words that I type wrong if I'm in a hurry. Flame comes out as flmae if I'm not careful. The as teh, an old favourite. But "were" is good, as the e and r are right next to each other. ^.^

As you say Matt, a monument to the bloke who thought of the backspace key.

This thread = teh shniz!

It's not that hard. Get some typing skills.

*is a horrible person*

The apostrophe key's fine; it's just that when I move my hand back to type without it, my middle finger will end up on the L instead of the K, lol. Or I'll forget which order the S key and the D key go in XD

Is it sad that I know the order of all the letters on the keyboard without looking?

No, I do too. People should know that -- they just need to use Mavis Beacon; she's a good teacher.

Yeah, I know where all the keys are too. That's the way it's supposed to work.

What are your guys' WPM's?

I hated Mavis Beacon. Forget her, try playing an online RPG. That's how I got my 150wpm, when I push myself. :p

I know where all the keys are, I just hit the wrong ones XD

I never did learn to type properly. Still just use me index fingers.

I've graduated from pecking it all out with one finger, but I don't use the Mavis Beacon way of putting my fingers on the key board. I tried her, and it was alright, but I got to know where the keys are by typing my stuff up on Word.

Pecking is evil. Horrible. You all need to learn to type properly. Using the right fingers for the right keys. Hop to it.

Hop to it, I say!

Prok

Mavis Beacon = sick. All that horrible 'typing properly' rubbish. It just made me incredibly slow.

Although maybe if I had listened I would be able to type without having to backtrack to delete all these random letters that pop up every few words.
