Hey, I'm a touch typist. I look for the key, touch it and it gets typed. Basically I use two hands with two fingers per hand and thumbs on the space bar. This is during the morning hours. As the day goes on, the number of fingers diminishes until late at night, it's one finger on each hand.
I evidently older than Patricia but like her school, only the girls took typing in my school.
The main problem I have typing is I'm an atrocious speller and most of the time, my typing is coming from my head not from a hand written paper. Therefore I need to look at both the keys and the screen. Unfortunately I don't have stereoscopic vision. That said, I can often type faster (as far as the finished work) than some touch typist who are out of practice. They make more mistakes and end up spending time correcting them.
To exacerbate the problem, I'm a Southerner & like my speech, my verbal thinking is slow. I've also discovered that my verbal listening is slow.
