What pisses me off is there was a punctuation error in their stupid paragraph. It hurt me to have to go back and "correct" my typing to match their mistake.

I enjoyed his attitude and advise and my typing speed has gone downhill every since! ;)

He was trying to get laid. ;)

86 WPM with "impressive" accuracy.

My handwriting has always been horrific, and when my mom asked me when I was in the 10th grade what I wanted for Xmas, I told her that I wanted a typewriter. I took two complete years of typing in HS (now 30 years in the past), and never looked back. I type a lot in my job, and, of course, online.

It is one of the very few skills I have.

Translated to IMer, or Newspeak, as I like to call it.

That's not typing...that's my dog thinking it's a cat and jumping on the keyboard

I have worked as a secretary and as a medical transcriptionist.

My skills have suffered since I don't spend ALL of my time at the keyboard (even if it seems like it here) but once upon a time I could type 100wpm.

wolf	08-25-2004 02:17 PM

73 wpm with 1 mistake.

Oh, and I'm not a "touch" typist and have never taken a formal typing class.

Real typists cringe when they see my keyboard technique, which was established by working on old-style CRTs connected to a mainframe and Decwriters. Remember, kiddies, in the early days of computers the manufacturers cut some corners to make the keyboards cheaper ... so I ONLY ever use the left hand shift key, among other weird hand placement issues.

Well, I'll be damned! There's a shift key over there on the right side of my keyboard! I honestly never noticed that before.
