I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.

Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?

    Yep.
    Went to an all-boys Catholic High School and there were no technical programs (shop, auto, woodworking) bc they couldn’t afford the programs, nor the space. Barely had a gym.
    Anyhoo, ‘options’ were typing, bookkeeping, and Latin.
    Took typing for 2 years, buddy and I would race-type song lyrics out of our heads (lyrics often weren’t included in the liner notes).
