Unit 3, Lesson 17: [Caps Lock], [8], [3], and [']
[Caps Lock]
The [Caps Lock] key toggles on and off the case of typed characters. When pressed once, all letters are typed in upper-case without the need of holding a [Shift] key (in fact, pressing the [Shift] key while [Caps Lock] is active can on some keyboards produce lower-case characters). The [Caps Lock] key is typically located right above the left [Shift] key depending on the type of your keyboard.When you type words that are in all capitals, rather then holding the [Shift] key, it is more convenient to push the [Caps Lock] key, then type the word(s) without using the [Shift] key, then press the [Caps Lock] key again to return to lower-case letters.
Words in all capitals were often used for emphasis; with nowadays word processors, emphasis is achieved by changing the font of the words.
Use left little finger. Type at least twice.
Oracle ORCL; Microsoft MSFT; Xerox XRX; Dell DELL Come today AND tomorrow. WHERE did you get THIS? Zoe is from KENTUCKY not MASSACHUSETTS. She must leave NOW. They ALL like HIM. No PAIN, no GAIN. [8]
Use right index finger. Try to keep remaining fingers on their home keys. Type each line at least twice.

The ['] key is usually located right next to [;] key. Apostrophe is mostly used in contractions and possessives.
Use right little finger. Repeat at least twice.

DRILL BOX Finger Drill
Finger Drill is a new type of drills that should improve your typing confidence. It is very important that you do not look at the keys while you type. Try to maintain a constant speed. Hit each key without touching any of the neighboring keys. Keep fingers that are not typing in their home position.
Don't be discouraged by the fact that typing Finger Drills is much slower than regular word drills. This is to be expected.
This drill requires your full concentration. Take a short break before and after this drill---stretching, having a sip of your favorite beverage from a fridge, etc. are all good.
Type each line at least three times.
;p; ;P; ;'; ;?; 'p' 'P' ';' '?' p; p' p? P? P; P' ;p'? ?'p; ;P;? ?'P; ?;'pP ;'p?P 'p?;P ?;P'p p;P?' ded d3d dcd ede ece e3e 3e3 3d3 3C cD cE c3 Ec D3 d3ce ec3d D3CE EC3D E3dce Ce3cd eD3dc c3dCe 3eCdc juj j8j jyj jhj jnj jmj huh y8y n8 My Jn 8M Yj 8u j8mu h8ny Um8J Yn8H U8jmy Mu8nj uH8jm m8hNu 8umhn Pre-test (AL = 4.21)
Type at least once.
Then take a 1-minute timing and count your errors.
You should type at least 32 wpm with no more than 3 errors.
