oh I can do that! but my mom says I type weird so she's trying to get me to type a different way but I type way slower like that

You may be hybrid typing, which would be half hunt-and-peck typing, and half touch typing. My mom does that.

Is that the thing you use?

Naw, I use Nitro Type.

The one thing that I never paid attention to was how the typing program said to use specific fingers. I'm sure it'd be faster and less mistakes, but I tend to find relearning anything like that to be really difficult, and so I stick with my odd way of typing that manages to be pretty decent.

Yeah, it can be a little challenging to memorize the exact key that goes along with the exact finger, and go from there on the homerow, especially since there are some that are a little hard to reach.

I'm thinking of trying Colemark and seeing if it is better. I've been using it on my phone but I need to try on desktop. I've heard Colemark reduces hand strain and has better speeds since most of the vowels are on the home row.
