nails hit the wrong keys - no wonder my messages are so garbled!

lol...I couldn't type when my nails were short and can't tell any difference when they grow out really long.....I still fat finger the wrong keys.

I was sooo afraid of the nuns that I would bite my nails!!

I have had acrilyic nails on occastion and had them filed straight across, like a square then tap the keys with the nail instead of your finger tip. You might buy a program that you can dictate into. And last result use spell check. Good Luck

Mine are hard, snap off when I bump them and they curl under so I can't let them get too long.

I keep my nails short these days, I can't grow them long without a lot of fuss and attention, but when I did have them long I would have them only at a certain length so that I could still type. This way they still looked nice but were practical.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, sometimes I cut my fingernails every week they are very strong and grow too fast.The only time they got thin was when I was undergoing chemotherapy.****

Mine were bad from chemo too.

I have seen people type with long nails and some have used their knuckles to type and even an erasser to hit the keys. You could always file them down a bit so they don't get in the way of typing.

Aaah you are so lucky!! I am one of those gals whose nails don't grow faster than I wear them out!! It seems that hitting the wrong keys is the price you pay for having lovely long nails.

Funny thing with my nails, if I take too much notice in caring for them they break off! Hand cream is all I use!
