On the other hand, I use the right thumb quite unconsciously, without even thinking about it.Espèrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312759044190536243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-83525636274742214482008-01-09T20:04:00.000+05:302008-01-09T20:04:00.000+05:30Rahul's right, it's not that difficult to use the ...Rahul's right, it's not that difficult to use the left thumb. <BR/><BR/>I realise I use whatever digit happens to be closest to the key, but again, perhaps speedtyping changes the way you use them.??!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03791417518093723373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-30709933478674055502008-01-09T19:31:00.000+05:302008-01-09T19:31:00.000+05:30Espèra: It doesn't take me long to shift.

I sometimes use my left thumb -- logically it shouldn't matter, and one of my laptops has a space bar that works better on its left side.Rahul Siddharthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809667965184094636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28464200.post-5706145500937398042008-01-08T20:55:00.000+05:302008-01-08T20:55:00.000+05:30I use my index fingers for all the keys and my blo...I use my index fingers for all the keys and my blog has over half a million words on it!
