Rant and Poll- Learn to Frickin' Type

[ajohn505]

You know who you are.

You spend 10 hours a day in front of your l33t box. As a favor to yourself and the rest of the online world, spend 30 minutes a day in a typing tutor and learn how to touch type so I don't have to:

1. Put up with your obviously hunt-and-pecked messages on the boards. They're easy to spot.

2. Wait for a 2 minute repsonse to a simple question I asked you in-game

3. Spend 10 minutes having a one-paragraph conversation with you in AIM or Messenger.

2 word errors

Of course I'm those people that have to look at their key board while typing :D

[Lonehunter]

At my High School "Keyboarding" was a required class, so I type pretty fast. Sometimes my friends wonder how I can type so fast and keep my eyes on the monitor :D

[Mtx]

I'm not your secretary. So if you don't like my failed grammer and constant errors. Kiss my Azz! :D

Hunt and peckers.. heh I used to do that in the begining. Now I'm a super pecker. :lol:

[ajohn505]

Its good to see that so far the good typists outnumber the poor.

And MTX, there's no such thing as a super pecker, unless its the one in my pants :) Touch typing is easy to learn, and the benefits will compound themselves over the years. You'll literally save dozens of hours over the years, and be much more articulate online.

[Kaltagesta]

i too kthe test twice. Once touch typing - 37 WPM, 1 mistake.

the second time i did my pseudo touch typing but still looking mostly at the keyoard [its weird] and i got 58WPM with 3 mistakes...

[EineBeBoP]

[Strygun]

I type faster than my typing teacher at school.

I type, on average, 120-130WPM, with 1 or 0 errors.

No joke.

take the test and prove it, post a screenshot, until then i'm calling bullshit

[Strygun]

I could scan my typing sheet from school with the teacher's sig if you'd like.

I'm not a fan of that online test, I only got a 110 in it. I prefer typing from something OFF screen, that is, a paper or book to the side of the monitor. I don't like looking at the monitor while I type.

[Strygun]

Here ya go squeek. (Remember, typing while looking at screen is not the way I like to type)

i type at a clean 67 wpm with 97% accuracy

[ajohn505]

Ooooh, damn. Way to go Sty man :).

I agree, it is a bit distracting to see what you're typing scroll across the screen while you're trying to read the next couple of words.

I'm at about 85WPM, 97% or so.

[Onizuka]

sheesh these tests are easy im getting a consistant 60 wpm. yay

[ghost018]

Fluent Typist >75WPM.

Is that due to a sticky substance being discharged on the keyboard or him punching two keys at once?

[Febnon]

Pretty messed up of you to post a topic about people's typing. They can type however the fuck they want, deal with it.

It didn't take you 45 seconds to type that, did it? :)

I was just making a point that in an increasingly online world, people make little to no effort to become proficient at the main medium of communication.

All in all, I was proven wrong... a majority of people who responded know how to type at a passable level. Some, like strygun, are exceptional :). That boy's goin' places, let me tell you.

[Happy lil Elf]

1024, quiet. He was making the point that good typing skills are a good idea, which they are.

I got about what I figured: 56 wpm with 1 error

[Hamma]

Think they could put a few more huge ass words in that thing.

Holy shit

[TekDragon]

I maxed out at 97 WPM at 93% accuracy (taken last year in college).

My average speed is around the mid 80's with 95+% accuracy.

Anyone who has talked with me on aim can attest to my l33t typing skills. I can type an entire essay in the time it takes Onizuka to come up with 1, 16 word, sentance with 6 spelling errors and a dozen grammar mistakes. :P

[TekDragon]

Bleh, 82 wpm is the max i could do on that test. Once i get home and try it on my alienware keyboard instead of this POS sticky work keyboard i bet ill break 100.

[xuur]

eh...like a 35 or so with 6 errors. 86% acc.


ya didnt tell me it was a spelling test on top of it.

and in this day and age, "teh" should count as a word.

so nyaaaah

I told you, i dont even remember typing that one weird sentence. I woke up the next morning at maybe 1 or so and realized i had logged into psu last night.

Stupid drinking contest (i swear, maybe it was my friend or something, i really dont remember.)

No problem, you can improve youre typing here http://www.ratatype.com/learn/

[Baneblade]

I've been told that I can't type, yet I still belt out the words faster than most. I just don't contort my hands into that ridiculous position bullshit.
