I was in class and the guy next to me kept using delete and i just remember thats how i learned how to type back in 7th grade, they taught us to delete instead of using backspace and how backspace was our enemy lol.

so what do you use. lets see who are the computer dorks. ahah jk, some people learned through delete.

i use backspace.

Delete & Backspace are the same button on the mac keyboard... its labled "delete" so I guess I use delete.

delete dont do anything. i only use delete for control alt delete.
backspace all the way son

Well, being that I'm on a macbook, I don't have a "delete" button, but if I'm at the end of a word and hit option+backspace(which actually SAYS delete), it gets rid of the whole word.. But yeah, I just do backspace.

Regular Mac keyboards have a delete button (the shape with the x in it), but the laptops don't.

same, but when i'm on my pc then i use both.

Backspace.

Backspace.
Why? It's sorta part of the main part of the keyboard.. Delete is in its own little box.

um. backspace. if you delete something, you have to press that left-arrow button then delete, because delete erases what's in front of it while backspace deletes what you just wrote.

so why make more trouble for yourself?

Isn't the key immediately to the right of +/= marked delete?

Backspace all the way.

I mean it is one of the most used keys on my keyboard.
That and enter.

Whuuh? My 'delete' button doesn't delete the words.

Or are you talking about after highlighting everything ?
Lol. K, either way, I use the backspace button. I've never been taught to use the delete button *I've never even had computer classes*

I never pay attention to the delete button.

I mostly use the backspace button. Delete is just too ... out of the way. =P

yea it is but the "delete" button on a mac deletes like the backspace button on a pc, it dosen't delete in the same direction as the delete button on a pc. i can't really explain it. just try it. lol

whicheever one is more convenient

Oh, I'm well aware of what it does. I'm just wondering why she said she doesn't have one. I mean, it's right there.

I forgot about that button, sadly enough. It's so far away, I would actually have to move my whole hand.
