I type with two fingers, extremely rarely a middle. I am incapable of homerow or anything like that. My setup requires perfect positioning so my mental layout works. If I'm leaning or something, it becomes virtually impossible to type properly. | ||

( ) - ; : ' " , . ? which are the main hindrance in my typing atm. I've found that concentrating on accuracy will actually make me type faster than if I concentrate on speed, because correcting mistakes is the worst time waster. Proof of my average (this is the first time I used this "replay" site, saw it on an earlier page in this thread) http://hi-games.net/typing-test/watch?u=3548 | ||

I use the textbook typing method where I put my index fingers on the F and J buttons and the rest of my keystrokes follow pretty naturally. | ||

But-- if I typed "you" I'm going to use my left index to stretch over to y while having my right hand on o and u respectively to be struck in succession. | ||

it tilts me massively though, I could type so much faster if the typo system wasn't retarded, but I don't really know how else they should do it. | ||

I don't remember the details, but I remember back when typeracer was on Facebook I was really irritatedby the typo system too. I think I used to have that racecar or whatever the top one was =P edit: FML after three races myaspeed is like only 120wpm now D: edit2: Now's it's dropping to like 110 T_T | ||

Seems weird to hit "i" with your index; I use my middle but perhaps just a diff train of thought. I always use my right index for "y" but this way also makes a lot of sense. Damn you, Mavis Beacon. | ||

Edit: I forgot the how you type part. I do text book qwerty style, except I use my left thumb to hit the space bar. I can still hear my typing teacher complaining. Can you say annal? | ||

It makes me wonder how you guys are calculating your WPM. I am typing on a laptop however. If you mess up enough, then your speed can drop that fast. Generally they do it by multiplying your percentage to your gross speed. I type 100 words (I believe it's set at 5 letters/word) in one minute, but I only have a 66% accuracy, then it would give me 66WPM. | ||

Case in point: forum posts. I can maybe go 120+ wpm on a typical forum post with familiar words, but according to this http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php, with UK spelling and convoluted punctuation, I only got ~85 wpm, although i didnt make any mistakes. | ||
