Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 22, 2018

Hey, I text with one finger!

it takes skill to text with either one or both thumbs

That’s almost the way I type. I use two. It’s much faster if I don’t try to involve those klutzes downhand of the pointers.

Prefer a full keyboard must be why I don’t text. Also prefer a large screen(laptop) vs a little screen(smartphone). Wonder if anyone did a study to find out if people are hurting their eyes by looking at the small print.

When I absolutely, positively have to text, I use my pen that has a rubber, eraser-like tip that’s the same size as the text buttons. Less chance of hitting the wrong key, since my fingers are at least three times larger.

just use the voice type option so much easier

You know you are a plugger when you DON’T text… (like my dad!!)

LOTS of pluggers went to the Peckandpaw School of Typing.

How do you text on a phone with more than one finger? Do you take turns?

Even more fun when you have to hit the same button five times for a number. No ads on flip-phones, though.

And using a flip-phone.

We used to “text” with two fingers. We called it “typing”. I’m amazed it has become the “in” thing again.

I do mostly one-finger texting because my big fat thumbs always hit the wrong key.

even worse, when you are texting with a stylus because you do not want finger smudges on your screen.

Who can touch-type? 1 pointer finger or a stylus – is my speed. Don’t text that often and usually only 1 or 2 words at that.

I can type fast on my laptop, but almost as fast one fingered on my phone. Love texting over phone calls. And I’m very much an old plugger!

I use a Note phone with that nifty fine line stylus. so much better than “fat fingering” text…now if they would just do sum ting wizz auto connect ;)

And a lot of backspacing, …
