How fast do you type?
Ok, I am trying to avoid revision but I suddenly wondered how fast I can actually type.... And then wondered about everyone else on here!
The web site hosting I used was:
http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php
And I can happily say, out of three attempts my best was 67 wpm with no mistakes (using different text each time).
So how about you guys? Who's the fastest typist out there!

You made 4 mistakes, your mistakes are shown in bold text:
Since it is the UNDERSTANDING that sets main above the rest of sensible beings and gives him all the advantage and dominion which he has over them; it is certainly a subjecr, even for its nobleness, worth our labour to inquire into. The understanding, like the eye, whilst it makes us see and perceive all other things, takes no notice of itself; it requires and art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own object. But whatever be the difficulties that lie in the way of this inquiry; sure I am that all the light we can let in upon our minds, will not only be very pleasant, but bring us great advntage, in directing our thoughts in the search of other things.

Same here, with 4 mistakes.

I use Typing Tutor a lot - an old program but fantastically useful. I have managed to get up to 110 on it at the moment. At its peak it was a little higher  .

You made 1 mistake, your mistake are shown in bold text:
"Harvest is ended and summer is gone," quoted Anne Shirley, gazing across the shorn fields dreamily. She and Dianne Barry had been picking apples in the Green Gables orchard, but were now resting from the their labours in a sunny corner, where airy fleets of thistledown drifted by on the wings of a wind that was still summer-sweet with the incense of ferns in the Haunted Wood. But everything in the landscape around them spoke of autumn.
