I type exactly as i learned how way back in typing class in HS. My problem is i forgot how to spell certain words over the years. Like exercise is my most common misspell, i type it as excersice or exsercise. Seems retarded but i spell better when i write it out. I don't bother to spell correct for you guys half the time nor do i care about proper grammar or using semi colons in correct places.
I don't even know too many people who speak correct grammar, yet are grammar nazi's. Kills me everytime.
I use something approximately along the lines of home row, except that my hands ike to overlap each others' typing field with each spelled word when I type faster than 70 WPM.
The shareware program Stamina Typing Tutor is great for learning high speed touch typing and you don't have to pay unless you feel it's helped you and they've earned it, then you can go to help, donate and send them some money.
Im legally blind, so I basically memorized where all the keys are and have typed entire papers without looking at the keyboard. I dont do any of the above mentioned methods.
Stamina shows you a keyboard map onscreen so you don't have to look at the keyboard and you just do the drills and practice,practice,practice and it becomes natural to you just like playing a musical instrument.
I use all the fingers on my left hand except for my thumb. I use all the fingers on my right hand too. Mostly home row, though I angle my right hand a bit, so that the thumb hovers over the spcae and the pinkie activates the backspace.
I use a dvorak keyboard, and type generally at an acceptable level.
