Just wondering if I am the only one. Was on chat, privately whispering to someone, and when I'm typing I have to look at the keyboard. The person I was chatting with apparently left the chat while I was typing and of course looking at my keyboard, so when I hit enter my remark was privately whispered to ALL. Then a black box popped up momentarily... couldn't read it, too quick, because I was again looking at keyboard. Someone probably thinks I snubbed them. Am I the only person that has to actually look at the keyboard while chatting. I have a lot to learn. Everyone else seems to be able to type so fast.
Thanks for the advice John, I guess I'll just have to sacrifice my lightning fast responses and actually be aware of what's going on before I hit enter. I'm sure when I get over the nerves thing and feel more comfortable and relaxed, I'll quit making mistakes. Thanks again.
i also look at the keyboard as i type but i am so used to the layout of my keyboard that i know where everything is. there are many typing tutoring programs out there to help you lean how to type faster and more efficiently.
the main the to remember is that on the left side of the keyboard is the A and the E. poise you middle on the A and the index finger on the E.
on the right side of the keyboard is the OIU you place you ring middle and index fingers on these respectively then if you know more or less where all the letters are this will help you type faster.
good luck and hope i helped.
It's okay to look at the keyboard. I like to type without looking, but I'm haphazard. To learn to type without looking takes practice. Learn to use the right fingers on the right keys, though, and you'll never forget.

Touch--typing is hiiiihgly overr=ratted, ass I sledom mak a misteek. Oooops...
HATE when a message goes to all when my whisperee leaves unexpectedly! I might suggest that as a new feature... "block whispers when someone signs out".
I am a terrible typist, but a stickler for correct language- it's a bad combination, especially because so many folks here find text-speak or general illiteracy a turn-off. At least most of them are willing to overlook typos in the heat of the moment...
