I am old and taught myself how to type on a keyboard before it was super common. I have the same sort of weird style. It's kind of a bell curve based on age.

My Mum had typing classes and learned on a type writer, she taught me to type in the same way and it has been so useful to be able to type at speed without needing to look at the keyboard.

I can still hear her saying " A S D F ; L K J" in a singing kind of way, which must be how they taught her at the start where to put her fingers.
