Way back on the old days, college-bound high schoolers took a (graded) semester of Typing 101 and were actually taught how to type. In those days, penmanship was also graded.

I am making a conscious effort to revive the knowledge and skills I learned from Ms Chatfield (grammar/penmanship) and Ms Gatz (typing). Every day I am typing a page or two using all ten fingers (actually nine, I cannot remember if I've ever hit the spacebar with my left thumb) and uploading the results to One Typed Page. So far, so good.

I am currently in the middle of transcribing a seasonally-appropriate poem.
