    I've posted this in the "Computers" section, because this is kinda computer-ish related :p

    Go to this site to see the average rate of "WPM" (Words Per-Minute) you can type.

    http://www.typingtest.com/default.asp?m=1

    I think the average is around 60.

    I managed to get to 99 WPM, but only 82% of them were accurate (only because I didn't use capital letters), so I averaged at 82 WPM (apparently they round the numbers UP)

    Post your results here!


    Oh, and no cheating (doing the text over and over again until you know it by heart or something).

    And I am NOT making up my results! Some people can hold their breath for 5 minutes, some people can juggle, I can type really really fast... :)

    I suck !!!
    But I prefer typing without errors...
    Now, I need to do this test but with coding language instead... If I had to code something in vb, that would have been alot faster than 49 WPM :lol:

    Aesop's fables seemed pretty smooth. Not so many quotation marks or hard things.
