Sucky keyboard but I don't think I'd be much faster with a better one ATM, still getting used to wedding jewellery!

Seemed a bit easy far too many short words so could easily type them out quickly. Normally my typing speed is around 50/60 odd on other tests with actual paragraphs.

That's a stupid typing test. It's a lot easier to be a bit faster if the words you're typing form a coherent sentence and aren't just random words.

Yep it's certainly not an accurate test of typing speed, but works as a basic form of comparison.

doh 79 and 2 wrong words.

First time I did it was 89 but I was not logged in so the score was lost.

Did it all on red switch mechanical keyboard, I believe I can do it much faster but it's so easy to make a typo on this keyboard.
