Shrug; I find it much easier to write English words than numbers and the like, but I guess YMMV. If you don't realize when you've made a mistake, it's well worth spending a bit of time learning to type properly, IMO; I spent a weekend practising and while I still occasionally typo, I know when I have without having to check. E.g. I wrote this sentence with a couple of letter transpositions, backspaced and corrected them, all without looking at the screen, just to check that it was possible.
Maybe. Then there is typing in the passphrase on Android [ed: ie using an on screen keyboard] to unlock the FDE etc. Fwiw I had a year of touch in junior high, so I do generally type pretty well - but I still end up having to type in my pw to unlock my computer a couple of times on average. I'm not sure which parts I miss - quite possibly I'd be better off with a slightly longer, all lowercase pw.
