If that's to me, BT, I do yes. I also used a type writer when I was a kid. QWERTY was a revised layout that was used to ... do something I can't remember, possibly to prevent keys getting locked up... I think that was it. Anyway, good luck to you both.

I never read this post as I was replying to the OP, but I have now. My belief here is that if practicing in one way yields low or no results, a revision of the method by which you're practicing may be a good idea. Of course, it may just be that, for whatever reason, typing isn't for you, which sucks, but I personally wouldn't give up just yet.
