How fast can you type?

It’s amazing to me that I’ve never had a single typing lesson in my life and yet I can touch type. The brain is amazing.

Not bad. I could only muster up in the high 50s. Nice link though. Never had a typing lesson too, but there used to be a great game/tool modelled on Space Invaders where you shot down words by typing them, which is how I learnt to touch type. Might have to find it and get in some practice!

I got a pez 77 – thought I was faster. My right hand was doing nothing though … sloppy technique.
