One question for you split tappers, any tips for when to switch the duties of fingers? Do you have certain letter combos, certain words, etc where you just know you're tapper will become the hunter? Just having sent a couple texts with the split tap method, that's the only thing that seemed odd.
I've learned much from this typing discussion. Initially, I loved the touch typing method, but it seems to me that iOS has gotten less responsive, even across hardware, than I remember it being when I got my first iOS device most of two years ago. It may just be my expectations, but I remember touch typing faster, and more accurately, when I got that device than I can now. Prompted by this thread, I'm trying out the split tap method and am quite intrigued. Jeremiah Z.
