Not bad. I'm JUST 13 WPM on top of ya
I think you better re-read my post. I said "75WPH", as in 75WordsPerHour
That explains it
i hate writing anything with a pen or pencil now. it's soooo slow. you get all frustrated cause it takes so long to get your ideas out.

Who types while they're viewing pr0n?
Not viewing porn, but doing some other thing with another person *cough*
If i'm copying something...like I've got something written to transcribe onto the comp, I can do that at a steady 120-130wpm (like the typing tutor exercises). Accuracy is 95%, according to typing tutor.
I used to have some program that would meaure my type-speed in any situation...i dont have it anymore, but my regular typing is around 90 to 100.

I usually type about 130-135 words per minute when copying something off of a piece of paper or out of a book. Doing mavis beacon i can get 140WPM with 100% accuracy. My fastest ever was a little over 140 but whenever i am typing something off of a piece of paper it feels like i am typing even faster than when i did that.
I dont even use the correct fingers or anything because i learned while playing MMORPG back in the day on aol 3.0. The game was called "NWN" and before i started playing that i used to make my mom type all of my papers etc. for school (in elementary and jr high). In order to play and communicate i had to type so i just started teaching myself. My left hand is used entirely except for the thumb but i dont hit any letters with my ring or pinky finger on my right hand
My pinky finger on my right hand is reserved for the enter key and my ring finger on my right hand is reserved for backspace. Also, i only use the left shift key unless i am typing a "?" or smiley faces. One time my left shift key broke and it took me forever to get used to pressing the right one down.
Anyway, I think the keyboard does make a difference also because i know on a nice laptop (dell keyboards especially) or a good low-action desktop keyboard i can type much much faster than i can on the keyboard that I am currently using (Microsoft internet keyboard pro). The travel is too much on this keyboard and it is also hard to press down, and clicky.
Talking on AIM ruined my punctuation and capitilization habits When i was in high school i used to chat online a lot more and my typing got faster but more sloppy because i would abbreviate everything, "u" for "you", etc.

I don't know, but one thing I know for sure is that most all of you type a whole lot faster than you can think.
Most people speak at about 160WPM is what i have heard, and many speak even faster than that (especially in california, foreigners always tell us we speak too quickly). However, i have felt slowed down by my brain more than my fingers at times because it takes concentration to type at a high speed, but it also takes concentration to think about what you want to say and actually articulate yourself.
god, 140-160, thats amazing. whats your accuracy?
I was 82% accurate 95-97WPM. My test did involve copying some random paragraphs, but, there are other things that count, such as, if the paragraphs content flows. The typing tutor had words all across the board, didn't make much sense. Also, it was done on one sitting, so i didn't remember any words. Also, some words were big, like i didn't know what it meant, and some were long words, like 14+ characters a couple times.
For the speed demons, what is the keyboard of choice? Personally, I hate soft touch keyboards. I like MS ergonomic natural, or standard layout, but it must "click." ideal would have been one of those old school IBM AT keyboards. those really clicked away.

Hehe, that's what I mean. You sound like a segmented worm that got run through a blender.

I hated the old ibm at keyboards, my fingers and forearms get too tired when typing on excessively clicky keyboards. Soft-touch keyboards aren't ideal for me, but as i said i think the best keyboard that i have ever used is the dell laptop (at least an inspiron 8200).
Typing 140WPM i can still get 96-98% accuracy most of the time, and it really does depend on the subject matter though. If i am typing something from school off of a sheet of paper and i know what it is about, i have no problem getting 99 or 100% accuracy. Also, my designated backspace finger helps me to fix errors as i make them. I never really make errors and don't realize that i have made them, but i do make mistakingly hit the wrong key and notice it at the same time. The only problem with that is sometimes you are already a few strokes ahead before you can catch yourself.
Some of the things i think that make me faster than a normal home-row typer is that i use "adaptive typing" methods since i taught myself.
For example when typing the words "hey you," the first y is typed with my right hand while the second y is typed with my left. Depending on the key combinations i switch the fingers i use toward the center of the keyboard.
