Wow, @haroldsmith! The average typist can type somewhere around 41 WPM, so to be typing at your speed with only two fingers is pretty impressive! I will echo the sentiments of others on this thread to say that if it’s working for you, I don’t see why you can’t continue!
That being said, it is awfully hard to hunt and peck in a way that is physically sustainable, so be careful! Hunt and peck typists usually have their wrists angled too harshly for comfortable long term use. Touch typing is more conducive to better posture and positioning. You should be holding your wrists in a neutral position, with the thumb running parallel to the forearm, the wrist bending only slightly upwards.
As for breaking the habit, @bcole42, it is a hard thing to do! It can be especially frustrating when learning to touch type because you may initially be faster at hunt and peck. I would suggest using your old method when on a time crunch - when you just need to get something typed! If you have the time, though, definitely continue transitioning out of hunt and peck. The more you practice, the faster that transition will be!
