gotten a few questions on how I type so freakishly fast (~140-150 wpm) so a short 🧵 on upping your typing speed ⌨️
imo, it is about progressively building muscle memory between letter pairs, then groups of letters, then entire words, and crossing the "verbal-physical gap"

i did it by using MSN messenger a lot
oh i'm also extremely good at spelling and i did that by reading a lot of books and watching a lot of TV with closed captioning. i think i am slightly synesthetic between the spellings and the pronunciations of words. the chunking stuff sounds relevant for sure
