What a bunch of sad posting members over a newbie here. Most of which are those that don't hesitate to report others for saying even lesser things to them.

I haven't tested my typing speed in a while, but I can type pretty fast as long as I'm reading something... it's also really loud as I clack at the keys. :p My error rate is also pretty low where my most common issue is swapping 't' and 'h' or the infamous "teh"! Sometimes, I also have an issue with the fact that I use vastly different keyboards at work and at home. At work, I have the usual, crummy membrane keyboard, but at home, I use a Corsair Vengeance K95 mechanical keyboard (Cherry MX Red switches). Although, I find the K95's space bar to have a bit of a hair trigger. :p

I guess I picked up my typing skills from hanging around chat rooms a lot when I was a kid. I also used to play QuizQuiz quite a bit when I was younger. Their mini-game, Survival Olla-Olla Typing, had you typing out weird, Shakespearean-like sentences full of punctuations that I rarely used at that time (like the semi-colon) and old-timey words. I usually did pretty well at the mini-game; although, one of my online friends was even faster and usually able to beat me.

Well over 100wpm

If you learn at least half-correct form, it's easy enough.
