Impressive!
I didn't learn to type in school either, although at that time we had touch typing classes and everyone was encouraged to take the course (mechanical typewriters were used).
Back then many of us (young junior high boys) figured typing was for girls (the secretary thing). Little did we know that the keyboard would become the interface to a world-changing medium (computers).
Yeah I was never taught to type either... not sure how I learnt. Trial and error I suppose.
I've always been curious about the idea of typing "proper" with the index fingers of each hand on 'f' and 'j', but i've found it slows my speed considerably so it isn't really worth me learning! I do manage to touch type though, so I'm happy as I am.

The girls were the reason I took typing in high school! My mom had already taught me the basics from helping her in the family business on an old Royal manual. Seemed like you had to push that key down a inch and a half to make that arm hit the paper...LOL.
Then I get in typing class with those early electrics and couldn't help but type out a string of whatever letter I was hitting, even with the sensitivity turned all the way down. Admittedly, it was difficult to concentrate on the typing when surrounded by a sea of "coming of age" females. I never got anywhere near 100 wpm on speed, but I did learn to type well enough and enjoyed one of the most fun classes I ever had.

That's kind of the whole point. We need a person, a real American, and not a politician
