I took typing in Jr. High and am a decent typist - no look - can get up to like 80wpm if I’m really concentrating - low 90s is probably my record or typeracer, but in the 60s are pretty common scores for me. I like typing. It’s kind of meditative.
My older daughter is a typing freak and can do 100wpm on an ipad. They don’t teach typing in school anymore (my kids didn’t take it). It’s just how they grow up.
‘Canus’, because I like to have anus in my words.
4.67
I closed the screen, but I think my best was 4.49. I’m on my laptop now. When I get access to my better keyboard I think I’ll get below 4 for sure. 1.7 seconds is crazy. That’s the whole alphabet from muscle memory I guess.
Sounds like a fun night! (Not sarcastic.)
All this typing talk reminds me of when I took typing in high school. At our school it was still taught on IBM Selectric electric typewriters, even though at that time they were already pretty antiquated. (Actually I’m looking at the Wikipedia page and I think we had the “Correcting Selectric II.”)
Anyway, we used to do timed drills, and the sound of 30 of those suckers all bursting into life as we all frantically blasted away at the keys is something I’ll never forget. They had a distinctive smell, too. I think it was a combo of the lubricating oil on the internal mechanisms, ink from the ribbon, and ozone or some kind of electric motor smell. They had a great feel to them and actually made typing really fun.
You need to find a port of Typing of the Dead, what an amazing typing game that was.
it’s a stupid game.
When I took typing we only had a handful of the Selectrics and were still bashing away on manual typewriters. We took turns rotating through the electric typewriters.
amazingly, one of my maga ex-cow-orker who just a couple of weeks ago was ranting about the BIG PHARMA/DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY to keep hydrochloroquine away from REAL AMERICANS is completely unfazed by Trump’s endorsement of clorox chewables. Now suddenly it’s a “yall take everything so literally and twist everything.”
Trying the second one:
Looks like self aggrandizing bullshit by Quintus to me. I bet the slaves have a much different version of the story.
History is written by the owners.
This was not my Latin text book, but mine also majored on Quintus and his dog. He was always going about entering kitchens and stuff.
Bad news for high stakes rock paper scissor gamblers in Quebec.
Quebec law stipulates that for a wagering contract to be valid, it must be related to activities “requiring only skill or bodily exertion on the part of the parties,” rather than to chance. Furthermore, the amount wagered must not be excessive.
Took me 14 seconds and change to type the alphabet.
Ok boomer.
It takes me longer to think about what I want to write, so the slow typing speed isn’t even the limiting factor and therefore is not a problem.
Apologies for my outburst yesterday. No hard feelings for whatever mod temp banned me! Respect.
When you pulled manicula it made me think you had a srs classics background
My buddy made a badass cover for the book I’m writing. You think $1200 is a reasonable price to offer him? He’s giving me the photoshop file with all the layers. We didn’t really talk price up front. I’m going to make sure he’s happy no matter what.
I have a writing coach now too. Making slow steady progress.
