This.
Also, why do teachers force you to type the "normal" way.
I can not ever type with my fingers over the ASDF and JKL: keys.
It's impossible
This this this. When I used to have to take typing classes, I would type the way I normally do at a decent speed, and with a few errors but I would usually recognize and fix them almost immediately, and I would almost never have to look at the keyboard. Then the teacher would show up, and I would go back to "proper" typing until they left. During that time I would probably manage to type a really short sentence
really slow with a bunch of errors, and I would be looking at the keyboard almost the entire time (and when I wasn't, I would hit the wrong keys).
I used to hunt and peck when I first started using computers. I still do, except now, there is no hunt. I only peck, using all of my fingers.
Without any milk.
