Comment on Ask HN: Should I teach my kids to type with QWERTY or Dvorak?

Comments

I type somewhere between 90-103 WPM on a QWERTY layout, and I'm not even using proper home row position. My uncle let me play with a computer starting from the age of 5, and so by the time they taught us "keyboarding" in high school, my self-taught method was pretty set in stone. I only use maybe 6 of my 10 fingers when typing.

Which is to say, your children will be fine. Just let them practice, and they'll get more than fast enough.
