Do you look at the keyboard when you type?
I dont, I used too though. I sometimes lose track of where I am though, like my finger position is a little bit over, so instead of saying 'pig', i say '[oh'.

Yeah, I can type without looking. ;D Sometimes, when I get really into it, I type really fast and really loud.
It's embarrassing at school at times because everyone is kinda doing the "key-stab" thing where they'll search for a key for a couple of seconds and stab it with their finger, and I'm typing really loud and the room is really quiet. 8D

Yeah I do it without typing, I used to too. It was actually Habbo that got me to be able to do this. I guess it is good for something eh? And I know about the finger a key off thing. The most annoying one is when you try to say "lol" and it comes out as "kik" xD or ";p;" :P

Nope, I learned how to touch type when I was in grade 3, we had these programs on their computers called "Type To Learn" and after all these other years of practice, I think I can handle typing without looking at the keyboard ;)

naa, i havent realy needed to look at my keyboard in ages, i dont touch typer peropely, althogh i do do it to that exstent just without useing the right fingers to the right keys, althogh i agree that sometimes yea you loose your place and start clicking random buttons next to them, i usealy find that only when im useing a keyboard which is not the one im used to since the postions are slightly diffent relative to the size of the keyboard etc "/
I do, although i can look at the screen and type, i'm just so used to looking at the keyboard lols. :p
No I don't lol. Put I always end up saying 'kik' instead of lol, lol.

Now that I think about it, I do sometimes. Maybe sometimes should have been in the poll, oh well. I do it when Im doing something requiring the shift key. Like quotes or the & symbol, because I havent memerized the number/symbols.

I usealy consider the fact everything your write is comeing out in capital letters as a bit of a give away, when your touch typeing your still expsected to be looking at the screen ya know "/
