heres what hes done so far

Failed to press the middle key on the left hand side of the keyboard

it's called caps lock and it is considered impolite to type in capitals

I find it much faster to read. That is how I write things down :-)

I wouldn't advertise that too widely. It's generally only poor readers who are
capable of reading upper-case faster than lower-case letters. Proficient
readers use a wider range of clues including the shapes of the words (these
simply don't appear with upper-case of course). There is a psychological cue
broadcast along with text that is all in upper case - it says' "I'm assuming
that you are stupid." The cue is masked for speciality purposes such as short
headlines, surnames in lists, short warning notices, some names on maps, &c
but if you use it generally you are, at the very least, being impolite.

My history teacher ruined my hand writing at secondary school. She
forgot to tell me that I should take notes and not write everything down
that she said. The result of this, was I tried writing at conversation
speed and have done this ever since. It ruined my style.

My hand writing is un-readable now, even 45 years after leaving that school.

No one was complaining about your handwriting! ;-)
