Which is not an answer and not relevant.
Given a choice between not being able to spell and not being able to
think, I will pick the former.
Aside from my bad typing the other excuse is that I am a self taught
reader, or so my mother claimed.
I have sympathy for what you are saying, Mike, but the point
is that if you want to state your opinion, that's fine. But if
you only want to belittle someone, then what you say does
not come across in a good way for how people see you.
What they usually will do is pay more attention to any insult
you may make and less attention to the intelligence that you
wish to convey to the reader.

You have continued to demonstrate that you are unwilling or unable to learn
anything.
You continue to babble information that is fundamentally wrong in an attempt
to "prove" your beliefs are correct
The only service your long winded comments make is to show people who are
interested just how far a person will go to demonstrate their belief.
Your lack of faith is evident and your posts do more for atheism than any
ten atheists can ever hope to do.



Your mother is right to applaud you for being self taught.
I taught typing at one point in my life. Do you know that
if you learn the keys to place your fingers on, then you
will be able to reach most all of the keys without looking
at them? It just takes practice doing it that way and next
thing you know, you can just think the words and your
fingers and your brain will take over what you want to
say.

Wow what insight.



If you relax your hands with the palms up, and thumbs
to the outside, look at the curve of your relaxed fingers.
Now turn your hand over, still with the fingers in that
curved position and place them on the keys, starting
with the left little finger, in this manner:
"a-s-d-f " ("g" and "h" between your two hands) and then
the right hand staring with the index finger on "j-k-l-; "
Now those keys are "home base." When you type a
word, always bring your fingers back to those until
you get to typing faster. It will become imprinted on
your mind. Now, just practice until you can reach
the keys for all the words that you want to spell, and
get to a place then where you don't look at the keys.
At first that is hard. With practice it really becomes
easier, and practice will also gain you confidence.

Yawn.


Next, when you get more advanced, if you are copying
something, start looking at each word as a whole and
think, for example, "paper," rather than looking at it
and saying "p - a - p - e - r." which could slow you
down. Once you master that, which you can do with
practice, then when you copy something, read ahead
of what your fingers are doing, and then you will
pick up speed. This and practice are all there are to
it. I just want to encourage you that you can do this.

Sorry, your idea that there are just one set of "home keys" demonstrates why
education is always better than training.
