I came in at 89 wpm.

I don't type that fast at work usually, though, because most of my time is spent trying to decode my boss's handwriting, which is about at a third-grade level....

It's a little deceptive because there's very little punctuation involved. I really only type around 55 words per minute when it's full paragraphs.

I think it is hilarious that at 80 WPM, I am one of the slow typers around here. :clap:

When I was in high school, during the pre-historic days before computers, ipods and even (gasp!), the microwave, we had electronic typewriters. Now, I was college bound, and my mother told me that if I took a year of typing class in high school, she would buy me a fancy schmancy electronic typewriter (one of the IBMS!!!).

Since I was pecking away on a rather antiquated old typewriter, this was a challenge I could rise to! The only catch was that I had to take the typing course for a full year. Which, in New York State, made it a Regents test required course. So, I not only had to take the course, but I had to pass the New York State exam in typing, too.

Well, I am a smart cookie (and modest? did I mention modest?), and I took typing seriously. I was typing nearly 100 WPM by the end of the school year, light years ahead of most of the class. I totally aced the Regents, getting something like a 99 on it. And my mom proudly bought me my IBM Selectric, which I even more proudly dragged to college with me.

Two years later, the home computer came into being, I bought a Commodore 64 and never, ever looked at that typewriter again. :no:
