Poll: Do you touch-type?

Like most of you, I've had my hands on a keyboard for most of the day for many years now. I'm pretty fast, and I don't need to look down, but I wouldn't say I really touch-type. That is, I don't keep my fingers on the home keys and I only use three fingers of each hand. I make more mistakes than I should.

Am I the only one like this? Has anyone been like me and learned The Right Way? I'd love to cut down on the number of mistakes I make, but so far Mavis Beacon is mind-numbingly boring (and demotivating because I'm so much slower The Right Way).

Any tips?

Slifhtly sloppu toicj typing!

I'd guess the only 'odd' typing thing I do is that I only use the left side modifier keys. So for modifying a letter that is also typed with the left hand I am used to just simply 'shifting over' my fingers to account for the modifier. Anyone else do this or am I just weird?

I learnt touch typing the right way ... however, I took at least 3-4 years to get here in steps (I first covered the letters area, after I got it right, I got the numbers right and then the braces etc... I am a hardened vi editor user so I had to get the curly brackets too within my "fingertips").

Good luck with your efforts.
