I want to break a part of this quote down. Here’s the part:
Here are the parts:
- “you”
- “have to”
- “relearn things”
- “a different way.”
How does does breaking the clause down like this help? I think if you know about part 2 and 3 then you can learn more about what the author is talking about. You can learn more about you having to learn the better way of typing. Maybe it’s related to why the typing practice with two index fingers wasn’t very useful.
Honestly, breaking the clause down looks like it can help with understanding individual terms and phrases. You can focus on each term or word and look it up online. You can also think more about each term like if you know what the author is talking about. If you don’t then maybe that can help with understanding the sentence.
Part 1 sounds easy to get cuz that’s you, the person who practiced a bunch typing with two index fingers. You are also the one who then found out the better way to type.
I think part 2 makes sense to me. If you had the goal of typing the right way and you already learn bunch of stuff about another way then you’re gonna have to relearn things. This would be different if you were doing a self-imposed challenge. If you weren’t able to type with more than two fingers then typing with all your fingers and thumbs wouldn’t be useful for the challenge. You wouldn’t be able to complete it.
For part 3 or “relearn things”, it makes intuitive sense that you have to relearn things. You ended up finding another way to type so you gotta relearn a different way. It’s like you start from zero again; you gotta know what key each finger types like you did with your index fingers earlier. Also, now when you want to type the “a” key with the new way, you have to relearn that with a new finger. You were able to do it before but you have to learn to do that again.
