[random] Typing speed

[wispfox]

Because I was randomly curious...

I took one of the many online typing speed tests (which test how quickly and accurately you type what they have you reading from, and therefore doesn't show how fast you type things from the inside of your head), and was informed that my speed is 88 WPM with 1 mistake (adjusted speed 87 WPM). The mistake, I am amused to note, is that I replaced 'through' with 'throughout'. Oops. :) Oddly, I think it feels less wrong to use the word I used, which might be why I did it without noticing.

(Interstingly, doing it a second time with a different paragraph - thinking that I was doing worse - I did 70 WPM, with no mistakes)

I have, I note, no idea what 'normal' typing speed is. And I bet the speed at which I read modifies things, somewhat.

La!

Wow. 91 wpm on my Touchstream again with one mistake. The difference in speed isn't as bad as I thought. Although the mistake was in punctuation, which underscores how hard it is to type on this thing on long reaches. Especially up to the digits or over to the right for the punctuation. The whole thing is designed to minimize that, but you can't get around it completely. Digits especially.

But still, I'm encouraged.
