    Default "D-O-Y-O-U...."

    When you type do you think every letter in your head as you type it? Or do you think the words as you type them?

    I've always thought the words, and it never occurred to me that people do otherwise until I was in my US History class


    She told us we'd remember our notes better if we copied them down, and when someone asked about typing, she was lyke,

    NO DON'T TYPE THAT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE TYPING, YOU JUST THINK ONE LETTER AT A TIME LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO I KNOW BECAUSE I TAUGHT PEOPLE TO TYPE FOR TWENTY-THREE YEARS.

    I think and it simply happens. For me typing is like talking. I type 120 words per minute and cannot be fussed with letters.

    I think words when I type them. I don't look at the keyboard, so I think it'd be harder to think of what I'm typing letter by letter.

    I start with words, but if I keep going I stop thinking and just go.

    definitely type in words. Letters is too slow, and you can't really make any typos.

    I only type in letters when I don't know how to spell something, and then it's really excruciating. (when I went to spelling bees, I should have tried to type the words in my head)

    Your teacher is a pretty bad liar.

    I type in words. Typing kinda feels like another language to me now. :P

    I type in thoughts. Typing without thinking about what you're going to say is just confusing, at best. Words and letters are a part of that scheme. Gaming is a whole different story, entirely; typing out a long, well thought out plan is about the same as rushing all your units into the enemy base without attacking.

    I don't even realize that my fingers are actually doing anything other than hitting buttons when I type. I don't even think of where the letters are. I guess it just comes naturally, like riding a bike or something. I don't know what my bpm is, but I'm sure it's around 100-110 normally, and around 130 when I'm actually forcing myself to type faster.

    Yeah, I type in words, not in letters. I also write in words, not letters. Haha, out of context this post looks really stupid.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    words, it would take forever to type everything if it was in letters.
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?
