Re: Improving Accuracy

You are already super good. If you're typing 70 or more words per minute, you're rarely going to have to go back and fix errors. Nobody is perfect and once you reach an elite level, there's only so much you can do to get better.

Re: Strange typing method.

You should use your right index finger to hit the I, K and comma keys, use your fourth finger to hit the O, L and period keys and use your right pinky to hit the P ; / ' keys.

Re: Is this normal? [Taking 1 second pauses while typing.]

Pausing while typing can result from being a little uncomfortable with words you have to type. As for misplacing your fingers, you will make it easier on yourself by placing the tips of your fingers above the A,S,D,F and J,K,L,; keys before you start typing.
