Got a chuckle from me, subby.

pfffffffft... when i was in russia my grandma could type faster than that..
ofcourse this was in the 1930s and back then we used to have apples as the medicine of the time. I remember one time, Granny, we called her Granny cause she was our grandmother, anyways, she took an apple and gave it to Billy the Mascot. Now Billy was about to run a 100 mile race with bunch of the paraplegic guys down the road which if you think about it these days thats not acceptable. But back then all we had to do was wrap them to a tier and they would roll down the hill all the way into the lake.

He is going to be so disappointed when he learns about predictive text.

Big deal. I can do it in less than a second.

Fifth grader can type 119 words a minute.

In 9th grade, my school had gotten the very first Macs (1984), and a few friends and I kicked ass on Typing Invaders. Even under those artificial and ideal conditions (getting used to a particular set of words), probably never got over 80 wpm.

Wonder if she'd do even better on Dvorak?

And wonder what kind of career this will prepare her for...

Are you faster than a 5th grader?

She's going to make a great secretary. Especially if she develops a nice rack.

hehe

Heh, give it a couple years, Bruce.

"Yeah! You see how you scum!"

I could type pretty fast by that age too.

In college I learned how to type one handed... not 119 words a minute, but faster than more than 50% of adults I've ever met.

//typed 90 words a minute by 9th grade
///keyboarding class was the only useful class in all of high school

Came here to say this. Well not the part about the rack, but I wish I had thought of that myself.

Dammit

i can easily type over 100wpm, and if i have a lot of experience with the same sentence over and over i can break 150.

Now she's destined to be a Desk Jockey for the rest of her life. At least she got her career choice out of the way early.

Not bad. Though in the heat of MUD combat, I have been known to reach speeds upwards of Mach 4.

Trumped the subby. Way to go.

Who are you, Stephen Hawking?

Among teenagers today, that's not that fast. I know at least a dozen guys (and they are in fact all dudes, dunno why) who can beat that.

Fast for a fifth grader, but not newsworthily so.

Wouldn't typing it once and copy and pasting work better?

//smarter not harder

I got punched in 5th grade for typing without looking. This kid needs to slow down or he's going to have uber carpal tunnel syndrome.

My typing really took off when I started chatting about politics and the environment. It's amazing how fast you can type when people are describing stuff that is totally FALSE.

In grade school I was told I would never make it as a typist... now I work as a typist... screw you Mr. Dick who I can barely remember... If only you kept your mouth shut, I may actually have done something with my life...
I'm depressed.

I didn't say I type in a monotone!

She'll be a great secretary someday.

When I was in the Army, during slow times with no targets up, we would sometimes time how fast we could type either "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog", or "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country"*. I don't know how fast we were.

A quick check shows I can still do the latter sentence in 8 seconds, on a crappy laptop keyboard, which works out to a little over 100 WPM.

Of course, that's for a fixed phrase that I warmed up a few times with.

*Yes, I know the original quote is "party".

I could type 250 wpm when I was a court reporter. Of course that's not really typing. Well, it is, sort of.

Heh, give it a couple years, Bruce.

Too old.

Great future ahead:

For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay.
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage

My fastest ever was 70, and that was with the same test I've been doing since 1995.

/Also, in other news, Mavis Beacon does not exist :(

It should be jumps over the lazy dog. It uses all the letters.
