Approximate words per minute: 139 / 5 = 27
The average result of last 2004482 games is 228 keys/minute.

pretty dodgy java based typing tester type thingy.
now that I know it requires uppercase/lowercase and periods (full stops) I might try again.

Very dodgy java app. ;\ It says that I type at only 61 wpm, but I normally score well over 120 (when trying).

Ha - the number one ranked typist can type 830 wpm!
I don't think I could hit that number if I just type "it" over and over again... that's more than 13 words per second.
Someone was bored with a paused clock.

Ah yes, so it is...kpm
I guess it helps if I read things before I post
At any rate, I got Gator popping up when I looked at it. And the javascript app didn't work very well... (might be my interpreter).

Haha! In that case, 27 WORDS per minute is pretty good when you type like this fella:

hehe, yup looks a tad like me nose-typing
now if the strings had been pure php code I might well have done better than the 27 - only learned to type through coding html, js and then php - <?php comes more naturally than a capital letter to me.

I agree. Most words we say are typed awfully slow. Code can be typed extremely fast.
Take "function()" for example. 'Bet you feel comfortable with typing that!
