Did you ever do one of those typing speed tests? I'm curious what kind of words-per-minute speed is fast enough for coworkers to comment on it.
I type around 100-120 wpm (before errors) and often get comments. Realistically I'm a bit a slower because I have to go back and fix some errors.
Damn, you're almost twice as fast as me, and I'm not exactly slow, either! Definitely comment-worthy.
That's more than double the score I got from my highest score when doing a speed test on my phone, which I know is faster for me than just using a computer keyboard.
Did one just now. It isn't the fastest that I've done but I'm also on a different-than-normal keyboard (an ortholinear split mechanical keyboard).
Bah!!! Beginners numbers...
I'll have you know I barely passed typing class on one of those IBM ball electric typewriters at 31wpm.
On the IBM computers with word perfect 5.1 from the 5.25' floppy. I was much faster... 32wpm.
Then I got ulnar nerve damage from a terrible bicycle accident in Europe aka.. I fell off.. and now I average 20wpm.
Damn dude, I'm not a slow typer but 91 words per minute is blistering fast. Gave it a go on my laptop keyboard with the benchmark test (2 minutes) and ended at 64WPM with only one typo.
