Do you type with 2 fingers, slowly or fast. I learnt to type while in high school and my speed has increased significantly since I've been at the village.
I couldn't type in high school for the life of me my max back then was 8 words a minute. . Then after i started working at the college i really got going then working at the paper and having a deadline really helped too. now i have to be close to if not over a hundred words a minute. half the time I don't pay attention to what i am typing. No two finger pecking here. i actually keep my fingers on the homerow.

In school I could type 60 WAM but now since I am out of high school for too many years, I can only type about 35 WAM. I don't really type a lot of volume. I can type a conversation on AIM faster than most of my friends. It drives me crazy sometimes. I hated it when my DH was in Germany. We talked through the Army IM and it was slow and he was a one finger typer. So I would think that we got kicked off and he was still trying to type a message to me.

Well, my mom was the HS typing teacher for almost 46 years! I cut my teeth on an old manual typewriter.
She never let us touch a typewriter (or computer keyboard) without using the proper fingers and all.
When I took typing in HS, I could type 96 words a minute with no errors. Not quite as good now, since I don't practice speed typing, and I don't type for a living. I also tend to make more mistakes on these blasted keyboards they make these days.
I am not sure how fast I type. I was a typist for ten years before I went into nursing. So pretty fast. I first learned on the old manual typewriters, in the days before computers. Not really because while in high school we took a tour of IBM in Cambridge, MA the computers were as large as a room and things were typed into a punch card type system. Well, I have given out enough about my age. I feel old just reading this.
Neat question! I was able to type 92 wpm in high school. My sons are taking typing lessons (from Mom) and I tried out one of the test "just to see" if I still had it and it came in at 85 wpm...oh my I'm a slowin' down!!
I'm one of those people who drive you guys nuts. I type with many fingers but yes I am slow. I am always in awe of those of you who can type without even thinking about it.I think it's magic. I am getting a bit faster as time goes by though.
Long posts are a labor of love as I struggle with each sentence, lol.
