You type with both hand AND without looking at the keyboard? If not just look for a diagram of finger.positions. Then implement it and you will learn

I have been on a computer for 12 years now.

For some reason when I press space, it interprets it as two spaces so I get the first character of the word after the space wrong every time... maybe I'll have to try again on windows sometime?

Just tried it. About 56 wpm. :(
I would like at least 70.

Now I got something to do while waiting for the computer to do some processing intensive task or something.

"A programmer’s greatest enemy isn’t the tools or the boss or the artists or the design or the legacy code or the third party code or the API or the OS. A programmer’s greatest enemy is getting stuck.
Therefore a crucial step to becoming a better programmer is learning how to avoid getting stuck, to recognize when you’re stuck, and to get unstuck." -Jeff Wofford

70 is really high :).  Usually not achieved when normal computing but only when learning it the right way.  like that method.

I think the finger diagram thing is for general placement. I kinda use the finger placement. but have gotten used to doing it a bit different. For example, my right index finger is the one usually pushing the space bar. I'm not at 70WPM though, kinda hard to break habits though.

Hmm, space should be from either thumbs. What else will you use them for?
Thumbs are competely useless for typing other than space. This particular habit is easily broken... Rest can be difficult.  Because index finder and space means you have to twist your hand a bit.  Feels awkward when i tried just now lol.
I used some modifications too, but as i grew and my hands too it kind of corrected automatically. Never made effort for it.

I am actually average at 80. Highest score i have is 100. All fingers correctly used.
But this limit is difficult to break.
90 if i type from memory and 60 if there are to many punctuations.

I guess the "twisted" hands are because of past habits. I have studied body builders/"jocks" and typing on a keyboard hurts their hands because of the positioning. Blame the wrestling I guess, but my hands/wrists fall in the category. My wpm is around 60, so not a whole lot of harm done.

60 is good enough. It's not like we have to type fast when coding. Thinking takes time as it is.
