Squishy Typing
When you spill your beverage into your keyboard and instead of draining it out, like a normal person, you continue typing like nothing happened much to the bemusement of those who witnessed the spill. Squishy Typing is no delicate matter and practitioners usually have an “Own It!” type mentality. Squishy Typers never tickle the keyboard like an Elmo doll on the cold Christmas morning of 1996. Rather, they opt to pound the keys with the renewed vigor of a frustrated Ludwig van Beethoven raging at the heavens during a tsunami.
Jo: Just picked up my coffee off the warmer as someone asked me a question. I swung around and bonked the edge of my monitor and dumped half the cup in my keyboard...
Levi: I'd like to be sympathetic, but I'm too busy laughing. Hopefully, it was a cheap-o, wired keyboard?
Jo: It is. It's a work keyboard so I’m just squishy typing now.
Levi: I smell a UD entry. Squishy Typing
Jo: Ew Ew!! I'll get Darren on it.
Jo: Confession: I may have baited you into the UD recommendation so I could incorporate our conversation into the example...
Levi: Haha. That makes sense.
Darren: Done.

zone typing
when typing, you instinctively know where on the keyboard sits a given key, and you ready the designated finger for that zone – but you still have to look, in order to avoid a typo-ridden text.
People without training usually start out with the one-handed hunt and peck technique, and gradually progress to the two-handed, knowing-what-you’re-doing-looking, zone typing.

When you're sitting there sweating bullets on the AP exam, I'm going to remember this day, how you didn't hear a word I said. You were off tubing in aruba, a thousand miles away.
