I'm pretty good, about 30 words a minute, but the thing that annoys me is that when I make a mistake, it takes ages to tippex the screen

Never took an exam, but had to do 1 hour's typing lessons each week for two years when I did a Hotel Managment course. In some ways its like riding a bike as you never really forget how to do it. 15 years later, I switched careers to IT, so now find my ability to 'touch type' so useful now, but at the time I really resented doing it, especially as back then (1970's) it was very much a 'girl' thing to do. How times change!

It was obligatory to follow typing class back in high school and I was a pretty fast typer. But I never bothered to take a typing exam. Not really the coolest thing to do that age, but more importantly I knew my life would not depend on that paper.

I still type with both hands and most fingers, but do have to peek most of the times.

I was keen to know how good/bad you guys are

 

Fuck me! My first job xxx years ago, was at a company that sold keyboard training systems. Bastard of a job that one was, I remember nearly getting raped while installing one system at a womens prison (Drake Hall I think)

I can type way over 50 words a minute, but if you want it in english, then about half that!

 

If you want correct spelling, well, that takes a LONG time.
