Heh, you really had to challenge me at my own game, haven't you? I blind-write a lot of times, mainly to get writer's block out of my system but sometimes to just put all of my ideas out on paper. I'm actually blind-writing right now,, if you want to believe it. The thing that usually messes me up most is recalling where I was after I accidentally delete soemthing that i know is a mistake. It's not as though I'm that great at it, but like I said, I have a lot of practice with it. Unfortunately, this only really applies to Western keyboards. I suck at dvorak and azerty layout, but I supposed that's to be expected (since I don't really have that much training with those keyboards). It'ss a fun tool, especially when you're trying to concentrate on something else: (like checking out that cute blond talking on the phone or watching to make sure your friend doesn't steal your food), but for the most part I like to put a blindfold over my face and just concentrate on images that i'm trying to write up. I've used it a couple of times in academic writing, but usually not too much: having too many spelling errors usually makes it so that I lose a point (or several, depending on how bad it is). Some of the toughest habits to break (as you might have already seen), are reversing letters due to typing too fast, but it's still usually not too bad.
Sorry if I rambled a bit, I usually use this (like I said before), for stream-of-consciousness writing, so I tend not to measure my words very carefully.
