How wrong 's my typing? (computer related)?

Question

Are there any good websites that could teach me how to type correctly? How bad is my typing? (I never had typing classes when doing computer). I type using only one hand in the last 5 years and in fact only the right middle finger and when I need to capitalize I use my left hand index- I am right handed by the way). I do type extremely fast, though, and I rarely do spelling / typing mistakes. I use the computer every day cause I am a full time PhD student and I write my thesis. I am going to work at an office soon and I am a bit concerned that my colleagues will pull my leg. Is it too late to change the way I type? I only started using the computer 5 years ago. Is there hope I can change the way I type and how can I do that? Anybody else who has their own unique way of typing? Is thee right and wrong after all? And if my way of typing is wrong, how bad is that?

Answer 1

you're in college working on getting your Phd and you're worried about what people will think of your typing skills?  Dr. Yasmin, you worry too much.  Worry about the environment, global warming, the price of oil, running out of oil,  iran getting nukes, china winning gold medals or baby seals getting clubed to death.  Don't worry about your typing skills...honestly, nobody will care.  

Answer 2

Use Mavis Beacon or an online program. You should be typing without looking at the keyboard. Use a orange slip cover to cover the keys so your brain memorizes the spots of each key and letter.
