    I heard the QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow typists down so that they wouldn't jam up typewriters back in the day... odd how now we can't change it to a quicker layout because it's standardized.

    What do you mean "can't"? It's very easy to do, ara

    1) download key layout Introducing the Dvorak Keyboard -- Switch Your Computer
    2) pop your keyboard buttons out and replace them!
    3) learn how to type again

    At least seventy without many errors. I can't be arsed to try that site to find out something I already know; I've been typing at this speed since I was like seven. I learned to type without being able to look at my fingers and never really bothered using home row or anything like that, so when they taught typing in grade school I was always really frustrated.

    I should learn Dvorak one of these days.

    Gah, I know! They made me take it 3-6th grade, and then again in 8th grade! They make you start over every time and it was so annoying >.<

    wow, that's tough, jesse.

    i guess if you were using a laptop, you might not want to pop out your keys, but you could still just not look at them!

    Typing in my regular style (correcting as I go):
    Your speed was: 66wpm.

    Congratulations! You made no mistakes, practice does make perfect.

    Yes, that is partly true. I do wonder how the keys on the typewriter are connected though because I always found it surprising that the "e" and "r" keys are right next to each other.

    I feel... So disappointed... My WPM is a seemingly paltry 45 with 90% accuracy.

    I love qwerty and I'm never going back. I don't care if I can type faster, because I'll have to reassign all of the stupid keys in video games and I'm old and crotchety

    I should be able to type above 70 wpm but I can't be bothered to find out. It's not higher than 90-100 for sure though.
