It is not a bad thing that I don't know how to type right, but it can cause problems since I don't put the right fingers on the right keys, or use the right fingers to type the letters the typing teacher told you to use.
One of the problems that I have is that there are words that I type which do not come out as they are supposed to, and unfortuantely for me, the spellcheck doe snot pick it up.
The biggest one that happens is the phrase "does not". Nine times out of ten, this phrase comes out "doe snot" with my weird way of typing.
I kid you not...it comes out "doe snot" (wow, I am a poet, who doe snot know it.)
This is particularly embarrassing when it is part of an email to my boss, or a report to a committee I am on.
While I understand that the spell check is just doing its job and recognizes that "doe" and "snot" are correct words, but shouldn't the program be made to know that the word "snot" doe snot belong in a report on funding global health or a blog for my alma mater?
I am just saying...with today's technology, shouldn't there be something out to keep me from making a fool of myself?
Doe snot Bill Gates or Steve Jobs care about me?

Oh now that was too funny !!! and the picture was so cool ! I feel you. i took typing in school and learned to type pretty well and for the rest of my life wondering why the hell anyone really needed to have their fingers "resting" on certain keys. My two yr old likes to "type letters" as he says and I notice that even without a class, he positions his fingers on keys almost like I was TAUGHT....hmmm... so was I really taught something since my two year old does the same thing ! there is nothing so embarrassing as when i have to forward an email to my supervisor and i go through reading it to make sure i didn't miss something or offend the person and notice like you say doe snot or hell instead of he'll !!!! and my iphone has a vocabulary of it's own. it replaces everything with stuff that don't belong.
