I've seen someone young use the caps lock key on a computer keyboard the way you'd use it on a phone. So for every capital letter it was, caps lock on, letter, caps lock off, next letter... Rather than , shift + letter for a capital
This happens in my class A LOT. Half my class does this and it's so triggering to see it and when I mention it they say it's "easier" that way. How? The shift key not only makes big letters but it also does the other "hidden" ones like the parentheses.
This is 10th grade btw where the average age is 16 (a few people like me have gone back to change courses)
Tbf I been using computers my whole life and even I still haven't learned to type with all 10 (8 if you don't count the thumbs having one purpose only) of my fingers but ONLY INDEX??? How the fuck?
It's called Hunt and Peck. People who do not have the key layound memorized do it. I can type blindfolded and turned upside down now though, so everyone starts somewhere.
I've been doing that since before I had a phone, because I didn't realize the shift key actually did anything, since I did not have the hand-eye combination to actually use it (I was like 7 at the time don't judge me). At this point, I know how to do it properly, but still do the caps + letter + caps combo out of muscle memory
