FUN!

Not...it said i typed 0 words per minute. WTH i typed like 20 full sentences!

96, but I kept having to change my double spaces to single spaces. :(

First try and got 60 WPM.

81. Kept getting messed up on the words that I spelled correctly, but they didn't, so I had to back up and... correct(?) them.

I'm having the same problem JS had. I'm used to the standard 2 spaces after a period. So I mess up a lot there and have to backspace. lol

"I'm used to the standard 2 spaces after a period."

What standard is that?

>,< 74 wpm

"What standard is that? "

google "double space after periods" for a plethora of info regarding said standard as well as attempts to eradicate it.

I worked years ago as a typing teacher. And yes, two spaces after the full stop was the rule. Except for police typists who were taught to leave no spaces after a stop.

I've worked some funny jobs in my time.

68 WPM. I'm a two finger typer unfortunately :(

I typed 0 words per minute, apparently.

> What standard is that?

the old person standard. from back when people typed on actual typewriters.

/also can't kick the two-space habit

Whatever you do, don't take the IQ test on the same page. It takes you through all sorts of marketing pages with people trying to sell you offers!

I did make it through to the end though; with an IQ of 129 I'm supposedly 1 point short of being a genius. Lol.

Word made it so after periods the spaces were bigger. I think they started that in 2003. Before that, it was two spaces after the period. I still do it by accident every once in a while.

Great I love it... Jon called it the old person standard. Haha, but yes, when I was in typing class where the instrument used was an actual typewriter and not a computer there were two spaces after a period. So yes I am one of the people using the old person standard.

I usually use LaTeX for my documents. So no worries about any amount of white space you happen to use; the end result is all nicely formatted. I did 52 WPM, on a laptop keyboard. Perhaps I should try again with my IPhone?

I didn't even realize two spaces after a period wasn't standard anymore. I still do it... always have.

IND: if anything shows up red, it means you messed up, and everything after that mistake will count for nothing, even if it was only a missed capitalization.


67 wpm.
