TYPING......like on a keyboard..............
I was sitting here going through forum topics and responding here and there, and for some reason, I just thought of the QWERTY keyboard, and how I learned to type.
It is all automatic...........almost.
I took a typing class back in high school just to fill an elective. It turned out to be one of the most valuable courses that I ever took. I think I got up to 55 wpm, which is half of what a "skilled typest" can do. It still amazes me that my fingers know the QWERTY keyboard without even looking at it..............LOL..........mostly..........muscle memory.

I waited for quite awhile to read responses to my OP.............but, it seems that being able to type is good skill to have.
At 55 WPM.........half by memory and half by sight.........I think I do OK.
Cheers all.

I wish I could type shorthand............to be able to transcribe conversation in real time like court reporters.......but now I am too old to be energized to learn.
We had to take notes on this little notebook that was split in half....physically writing each word or term as a special squiggle that you had to memorize. This was before the machine thing that you see them typing on in the courtrooms in movies. I guess I'm "that" old. The little squiggles you wrote down, you were supposed to decipher and type up for real humans to read later.....something I never EVER learned to do. It seriously looked like someone had a stroke with a pencil in their hand when you looked at it.
