Typing Test

[BigPapa]

I saw Deykari's post about numpad and keypads and then Chayesh stating that he uses none of it, no macros, no triggers, no keypad, no aliases...

So, here is a typing test for all of you.

I did not do the whole paragraph, as you can see just the first few lines. Try it and post!!!!

There are some events of which each circumstance and surrounding detail seems to be graven on the memory in such fashion that we cannot forget it, and so it is with the scene that I am about to describe.

Sample text:

I have great trouble, and some comfort, to acquaint you with. The trouble is, that my good lady died of the illness I mentioned to you, and left us all much grieved for the loss of her; for she was a dear good lady, and kind to all us her servants. Much I feared, that as I was taken by her ladyship to wait upon her person, I should be quite destitute again, and forced to return to you and my poor mother, who have enough to do to maintain yourselves; and, as my lady's goodness had put me to write and cast accounts, and made me a little expert at my needle, and otherwise qualified me above my degree.

Not bad for someone typing in a foreing language.

Few people of attainments take easily to a plan of self-improvement. Some discover very early their perfection cannot endure the insult. Others find their intellectual pleasure lies in the theory, not the practice. Only a few stubborn ones will blunder on, painfully, out of the luxuriant world of their pretensions into the deset of mortification and reward. To this third category bellonged Laura Trevelyan. She had been kept very carefully, put away like some object to which the precious nature is taken for granted. She had a clear skin, distinction, if unreliable beauty.

Well done! You made no mistakes.

Henry VIII., the unconquered King of England, a prince adorned with all the virtues that become a great monarch, having some differences of no small consequence with Charles the most serene Prince of Castile, sent me into Flanders, as his ambassador, for treating and composing matters between them. I was colleague and companion to that incomparable man Cuthbert Tonstal, whom the King, with such universal applause, lately made Master of the Rolls; but of whom I will say nothing; not because I fear that the testimony of a friend will be suspected, but rather because his learning and virtues are so well known.

My typing speed is ~130 words per minute. However, that is partially due to the nature of my job. ("predict burn" And no, I am not a secretary )

I PURPOSE to write the history of England from the accession of King James the Second down to a time which is within the memory of men still living. I shall recount the errors which, in a few months, alienated a loyal gentry and priesthood from the House of Stuart. I shall trace the course of that revolution which terminated the long struggle between our sovereigns and their parliaments, and bound up together the rights of the people and the title of the reigning dynasty. I shall relate how the new settlement was, during many troubled years, successfully defended against foreign and domestic enemies.

Mine's usually higher, but I'm on a laptop - no good for typing.
