Wow, you don't even have that? 

I type almost twice as fast, lol.

Ugh, I need to learn to do it without looking at the keys.

Type "Properly"? Pfft.. It's only a preferred way. I learnt by practicing typing while playing online games.. And then my hands get used to the keyboard.

Also, the only purpose for the underwear/cloth over the keyboard is to prevent you from wanting to look down to find a key. You don't actually need it there if you can keep your head up, away from looking.

Also, 120+ wpm. <3

I'm already better than anyone in my class at typing, and next year I'll be taking the required keyboarding class.

I got a WPM of approximately 80, but the tests are bullstuff. When you're typing from your own mind you can easily top 150 WPM.

I've been typing my own style since I learned how to type.
And it works. I keep my fingers on

QER JIP

I dont know what the big dilio is. I only need to look down once per time I thype anything or make a major mistake, to "reset" my fingers and get them in the correct position.

My opinion: Teachers are way too uptight and should let kids have their own ways of typing fast

Basically, you rest your fingers on the F and J keys, and try to utilize all your fingers.

I don't do that.  I use my first, second, and third fingers to type, and I move my hands a lot.  Personally, its much faster.
