I'm listening to a podcast about movies and the two reviewers that host said podcast went off on a tangent about learning to type on actual typewriters, and how a lot of people that have to type a lot for work these days don't actually know how to type.
I did learn how to type when I was in middle school back in the late 80s, but it was a skill that quickly diminished as it went unused for the next 8 years or so. When I started working at an architectural firm I had to do some minimal typing, but I wasn't typing properly as I had learned so many years ago.
Now I type with multiple fingers and my thumb on my right hand and just my pointer finger on my left hand, and occasionally that thumb on the space bar. I make tons of mistakes tha and have to hit the backspace bar button often to fidx those mistakes as ifs evidenced by this sentenc3e that I am refiusing to correct in anyway (this wasn't a joke, that was what I actually typed trying to compose that sentence). See? Terrible.
Anyway. Can you type?
