    Chatting is integral to building fast typing skills. (this includes msn group convos also)

    I used to be faster, too. I blame my shallow laptop keyboard.

    I'm not in a position to participate right now, but you should consider: TypeRacer

    Compete directly with other people. You can set up 'private' rooms too, so you can just have EoFF people.

    Yeah! Only problem is that MSN chat ruins my need to correct my spelling since I just type half-word-half-jibberish now. I type very fast, but I make a lot of typos since in MSN I end up sounding like "oh my god whaht happen hahhshjdisfios homy oogd guys whaT?!" half the time.

    I am! MSN group chats are the best because everyone is laughing so much that spelling becomes trivial. It's the language of bgfbhdfjfahhahahahaha.

    Rye stopped talking to me because she hates me now :(

    I type roughly 83 wpm. When I was in the military, I typed about 120 wpm.

    I always backspace if I make errors. 100% accuracy is more important than increasing your speed from 93 to 96 or whatever.

    I'm a horrible typer...

    Net Speed: 50 WPM
    (words/minute)
    Accuracy: 98%
    Gross Speed: 51 WPM
    (words/minute)
    I look at the keyboard when I type and I only use my Index fingers unless I am using Shift, Then I use my Ring finger. My accuracy is normally pretty ok, because if I mess up I normally feel that I have pushed two buttons and fix it without ever having to look at the screen.

    72 WPM. 100% accuracy.

    Though if you asked me to just type out a random sentence from my head, it'd go a lot quicker. I no copy good.

    I'm an awful typist but I fluked a 90wpm 100% accuracy with a Facebook application a few years ago. It sits proudly on the profile page to this day
