Sometimes (most I guess if I am being honest) I look at the keyboard. I know a good girl who types (like you I guess) with not looking and it's impressive to say the least.

I have hidden talents that make up for my lack of typing skills..

The leather strap was a preference of some and the wood ruler a preference of others, I suppose the ruler was more accurate when typing laugh

That wasn't anywhere close to what I was thinking (it was catholic)...

But I'd like to see your typing skills on an AZERTY amd not a QWERTY. I bet you'd make mistakes or maybe even look at what you are typing..

I suppose you can whats the name "audio type" kinda like have an ear piece in and type what is said in real time..

What about short hand..? If you or anyone can write in short hand, how do you know what the dots, dashes and squiggly lines mean?

Alas I did not complete my shorthand course so dib dib dib and dot dot dot(I was a scout leader)laugh

I learnt QWERTY and reading not audio, never attempted audio so not sure how I would do, but might see how I fair.
And of course using a different keyboard layout from what I learnt many many moons ago would of course be like asking me to automatically play the piano without learning. cool

Is the "dib, dib, dib, dot, dot, dot" with a Derry accent? In Belfast we were taught "Dyb, dyb, dyb, Dob, dob, dob" (Do your best-Do our best)..

I used to be able to type really quickly in school.
I think it was 50wpm over 1 minute, or 40 over 10 mins.
I was good at shorthand too. I never practiced that though, so I remember only a little of it.
I can type without looking, but I usually sneak a peek grin

Yes, that's what I meant. In my defense Molly, it's Sunday morning and I need some more coffee before my brain kicks in..

So this short hand thingy... When you were a mere kitten a school, could you type quicker than short hand wpm...?

I do get that, I've only had one cup of tea yet. 2 is needed for brain cell activation.

I think shorthand was much quicker than typing. Maybe 90-120wpm? Or maybe I'm dreaming thst up..It's been a while.

Strong black tea actually.

That's why I rarely drink it in restaurants, etc. They serve insipid weak tasteless tea.

That sounds like a human right violation. Now tell the truth, you rarely drink horrible tea in restaurants because the wine and cider tastes better.

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you earlier. Did you try out "that accent" on your visitor or are you still practicing it in front of your bath room mirror?
