That's pretty good, I'm a touch typist so use all my fingers and thumbs.

Thanks!

WOW! How am I gonna beat that?

I see that you are already 12.78947368421053 times faster than that I am .... Words Per Minute?

So there is no question of beating.

The last time I took the test, I got 58 WPM. Now how does that sound?

I'm also a touch typist. I touch the keyboard with two fingers when typing. Actually, I use the scriptural method of typing—seek and ye shall find. All seriousness aside, when I was in High School, I begged my parents to let me take typing since my penmanship was (still is) so horrible. After a lot of hard work, I was able to get up to a rip roaring 19 wpm. And promptly forgot everything I learned.

I learned to type with ten fingers, but for some reason I'm typing faster with six!

I wanted to stay on an extra year to finish the shorthand course that I was taking with the typing at school but no as far as my parents were concerned I had to leave and start work, so at 15 I left school to start work in a factory.

I learned to receive Morse Code at 30 WPM on a good day so that is all the faster I had to type. 5 letter groups with no rime or reason so you are all over the keyboard without any pattern.

The great advantage was you didn't have to know how to spell. All I had to do is type what I heard in Morse Code.
