Hunt-and-peck reminds me of some teachers I’ve worked with in the past.

WotD: Hunt-and-peck
What kind of typist are you?
Are you a hopeless typist who needs to hunt-and-peck?
Or are you a speedy touch typer?
These days, being able to type is a must.
Even if you do not work in an office or use computers, you have a computer at home and type in your search queries.
Can you look at the screen and use both hands and ten fingers while typing out the words as you think them without making mistakes?
Can you use two hands but have to look at the keys?
People who hunt and peck use only two fingers – one on each hand – and only one finger at a time.
Hunt-and-peckers type the same way a chicken or pigeon eats; they find something, peck it and then look for the next one and peck that.
It is a prolonged and tedious process unless you are a chicken.
Then, it is entirely natural.
But you are not a chicken, are you?
So, learn how to type.
