I studied typing my first year in high school. i couldn't really be bothered doing it properly... so i didn't. then at uni i had to type a lot more... i got pretty speedy with 2 fingers. knew where the keys were but wasn't used to hitting them with the finger i was supposed to be hiting them with. then a couple years ago one of my lecturers saw me typing with 2 fingers and he said 'if you are planning on researching for the rest of your life then you had best learn to type properly. you will save yourself a lot of time later on'. so... i made myself use the correct keys (which slowed me down for a while) and then i got to the point where i didn't need to look. still have to look for numbers and brackets and things i don't use often... but didn't take so long to make the switch and now i'm much faster :-)it was worth it.
(just rambelling along...)
