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.

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. |

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? |

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