Be honest. Is there anyone here who actually does this?

I have never used this in any post. I'm not even using it now. I just look at the keys and find the letters ... because I learned absolutely nothing from typing lessons.


Yes. I always type this way. In 8th grade when I first learned it, ever since, and in 3 years of typing classes in college working on my medical transcription and coding degree. I type this way now, even right now. I only type any other way when I have one disabled or otherwise occupied hand. I ten-key properly too.

Back-in-the-day, we learned shorthand, as well----that's REALLY convenient; no prying eyes when you're taking notes in class.

Why did you care whether people looked at your lecture notes?

It wasn't about them looking at my notes, per se----it was more about that creepy feeling you get when someone's watching you / looking over your shoulder. I didn't mind sharing my notes with some people (as in, giving them my notes after class)----but, with others, I DID mind, cuz people won't take care of your stuff / RESPECT your stuff, like you would (that's why I quit loaning books, TOO----my aunt actually returned a book, I'd loaned her, to the library; and then, LAUGHED about it).

I totally relate to feeling creeped out by someone getting a look at notes I'm taking even when there's nothing about my notes that's particularly embarrassing -- I just feel very, very private about stuff like that. Notes to oneself in any situation can be personal, odd, a bit silly, etc. and you would just rather keep them to yourself.

Yep, EXACTLY----me, TOO!!
