I had typing classes in school (starting in 4th grade) but by 5th grade I had already strayed from the home row and just used my own method and I was the fastest and most accurate typist in my class.
By being a fucking nerd
by typing
By spamming "bank sale" and other shit in cammy bank

I sucked at typing until I had to learn to do it fast between mobs in diablo with my friends from school. As the time I spent on games increased, so did my wpm. It wasn't until almost around college where I tried forcing myself into home row bullshit and I'm still not perfect but certainly much better and efficient than before.
by chatting in wierd 90s chat games that died out and are obscure as fuck
took typing class in 9th grade
I was already pretty decent, having a computer since 4th grade. properly using the home row sped me up quite a bit

Roleplaying as a girl on MMORPGs
I typed emails like a retard to my family when I was 12 and realised I sounded like I was 6. So I started typing correctly and got faster and faster, IM and MMOs helped too.

they made us practice typing in elementary school with jumpstart typing
I broke the game by winning all the key cards in just a few minutes by holding down F for all the speed tests
shortly afterwards, I got bored, went back to the mac os desktop and started opening random folders
the teacher screamed at me because she thought i was breaking the computer and I was banned from touching the computers again
i didn't even learn to type
>>54198163
My school had apps to teach us to type, and my parents bought me a learn to type program for Windows XP.

>had a class in highschool
>felt like I didn't learn jack shit from it
>start spending more time online; gaming, chatting, doing papers, etc.
>realize "holy shit, I am actually typing pretty fucking fast
>keep typing and develop learned skill
>Before I know it it is second nature
Honestly, I took one class to teach me the basics and I just kept typing. One of the most useful skills I have ever developed.

Just doing random shit on computer when I was around 5 on Windows 95.

Spamming "doubling money" for some retards on a shitty MMO.
Elementary - some obscure dos typing game I'll never be able to find. Wasn't Mavis, and very easy to cheat it. Type about half of a sentence correctly then spam the rest and it will still say you did it. Not even a way for the teacher to know your score anyway.
Middle School - Mavis Beacon, can't remember the version number, it was fine though. Can't cheat this one afaik.
Also had another one which had a cute idea of making you splice animal genes together so you had something funny to look forward to. It would have a word floating under different animals, for example a fish and a dog, and whichever one you picked by typing the word it would combine the animal so you could have a dog with a fish's head. Some of these were really funny like a mosquito's head on a horse's body with human legs.
High School - absolute dogshit package from some shit company, literally the most archaic 1940s rules where they disable backspace (fuck off) and you aren't allowed to make more than two mistakes on a test (fuck off). Found out that it was waiting for you to hit the space bar to count a "mistake". So you could type "I need to type this sentenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and hold the e and get a high WPM, and still only have one "error". Teacher would verbally assault you for doing this but if you were going to fail anyway it would be better to gamble since she would miss 90% of tests and trust the program's score and not actually read them. That fucking program was so unfair in the WPM hike, it started you out (I'm talking 100% newbie) demanding 40 and in an entry level keyboarding class it expected you to end up with something over 100, again with no less than two errors per page.
