Muscle memory is a strange thing. I tried picking up Colemak last year and stopped because I made no progress. I then tried again recently and started right where I left off, at a slightly higher WPM.

It's odd that I could just continue progress that quickly and there's been absolutely no problem switching between keyboard layouts.

This was basically my experience in learning morse. Stopped after I somehow couldn't learn the next letter properly.

Come back a year later, and I was way better at it --- with no practice whatsoever in between.
