@nickrauchen@c.im @j2bryson@mastodon.social @newtontalk@bitbang.social You haven't trained your touchscreen device, I guess? (You can add words to the dictionary and turn off autocarrot.)

@cstross@wandering.shop @j2bryson@mastodon.social @newtontalk@bitbang.social Unfortunately... most of my problem comes from large fingers on tiny screens. 🙁 Perhaps some tuning would help. But I took to the #Palm and developed fluent stylus-based text input within days. I've been using #iOS devices for more than ten years with little progress beyond typing with thumbs and going back to make corrections. I realized that many of you who are reading this might not even know what the #Palm user interface looked like. So here are some photos. Note the #Graffiti cheat sheet--all basic A-Z and 0-9 gestures were single strokes, with the exception of 'X'. Graffiti was (and remains) a robust idea. 👍
