ha! nice one!
there's also a mobile app to see how fast you can type on your fone.

i reckon mine woud be a lot higher if i wasnt slouched on the sette lol
when i did my mscc i was 140wpm

i think if you make a typo or type the words in the wrong order you get penisised, whereas in the real world youd just leave the typos and use the dylectica excuse!

The x mrs can type faster than the computer can keep up . When see types it sounds like a chain saw :-(

Here's mine, a few spelling mistakes as I am on the laptop and not sitting up straight. It would be better if I was at my desktop on a proper chunky key wired keyboard and sitting up properly. Any spelling mistakes I would normally go back through and fix when proofreading. It would also be better if the sentence wasn't such a riddle as well

I have had that before in the past with older machines.

im a rubbish typer , my old ma was a typist years ago and could do something similar without even looking at the keyboard .

on the test it makes a big difference if some one calls the words out for you i think.

My old man is like that. Just looks away from the screen and keyboard and types away rapidly fast. But he is a journalist and has been a touch typist for many years. I think it's a skill that is slowly getting lost as technology progresses. I remember the sound of his clunky old typewriter tapping away when I was a kid and the smell of tip-ex.

yep its not something that people are tutored in anymore. before she retired she took a teaching qualification and taught at the local college for a few years taking night classes in pitman shorthand and typing. she tried to teach us to type properly using all our fingers and thumbs and bringing all your fingers back to the "home keys".
she learnt to type at the age of 12 . in 1942 my nan paid for her to come to ipswich from saxmundham by train for two years to go to secretarial college. all in the middle of ww2 !
she always had a living from it though!

I get zero, but I think that is because the iPad put a capital letter on each word as it thinks it is the start of a new sentence.

Either that or I am an simple illiterate from another country

My money's on the second option!
