srdiamond Posts 1	I've seen two contradictory pieces of advice for improving typing speed. Here's the alternative advice: 1. Type with a constant rhythm: don't speed up and slow down. If you have trouble with rhythm, get a metronome and keep pace with it to establish an unvarying rhythm. 2. Learn many short, common words so you can type them faster than at your usual typing rate. By mentally turning several strokes into one, you can type considerably faster by capitalizing on stroke combinations you've routinized. My questions: is this an open question, about which there are different valid opinions? Two "typing strategies," you might say. Or is one of them right? If one is right, what's the source of the error on the other side?
