    I taught myself a personal typing style, because I found touch typing to be awkward, unpleasant and quite frankly shitty to follow.

    So yeah, not okay with the implications that not knowing those lines means not knowing how to type.

      Whether you touch type per the formal method or not, if you don’t know what the lines are for, ot means you weren’t taught (or weren’t paying attention) typing.

      I was taught it in school in typing class, so the meme is accurate, but could be rephrased to something like: What do you mean you don’t know that the lines are for? Are they not teaching that in school anymore?

      It’s not about not knowing how to type it’s about not being /taught/ to type. Touch typing and the home row or whatever is what is formally taught.
