I've recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I'm probably not as efficient as I could be.

Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?

I learned how to touch type qwerty by playing Mario teaches typing 2, which taught proper form. It was one of the video games I was allowed to play when I was a kid. However, I did learn a few things wrong.

I never learned how to use my right pinky for shift and use left pinky for every shift. I also don't know how to touch type numbers or symbols. I could probably learn that, but I don't have to use them very often, so it's hard to remember.
