This is just too funny :-) My typing sucks I'm afraid.... doing this from home I average about 45 wpm. I'll have to see how better/worse I do from the office :-) Oh yeah.... the biggest reason my typing speed sucks is quite simply I constantly toggle between an AZERTY keyboard at home and a QWERTY keyboard at the office.... Yup, two different keyboard layouts on a daily basis.... can you say typonese?!? Even with such a sucky score, I managed to win a round LOL LMAO!!! This is just too funny :-)

I think it's because of all the backspacing I have to do to correct stuff. ;-) Sheesh, cannot seem to break 74wpm on this thing!

We had to do timed tests back in high school on manual typewriters, and you got no credit if you made any typos. I like the feature that lets you correct and keep going. :-) I won the race on my first try at 61 wpm even with 3 typos to correct. Guess the competition wasn't so hot. That's about my best pace in HS, but of course the manual aspect does slow you down. LOL Even so, I'm satisfied that I haven't totally lost it. Never did much care for that pressure, so once is enough. Thx for an amusing few minutes Vint. Clever indeed. Interesting.
