Does anyone else type 5 words per minute?

OMG, I just spent an hour typing a dissertation in response to a members question re. the merits of BioBalls v. Live Rock. When I fianlly hit the submit reply button I saw "you are not logged in" and my post was gone. I've either got to learn to type faster or to stop writing so much.

 

if i'm typing something out that is of any substantial length i usually do it in word and copy/paste. that way i can also run a spell check and not make any stupid mistaeks...

 

Nope but I can type up to 90 wpm on the laptop or computer. I always have been the fastest typist in my typing classes since elementary school. But on my iPhone I type very slow

 

Lol, I have the same problem8)

this might help, was in my email today

I have done this a hand full of times, so frustrating. I have managed to get my quick post back by clicking back, I have only managed to do this a couple of times though.

 

Well my mom's a medical transcriptionist...so she types wicked fast. And she's been impressed with MY speed...so...no

I took a typing class in middle school though so my youth aids me.

 

I just took a typing test I found on google. I took it twice, and my MAX speed (not very accurate, about 75% accurate :) and my first try yielded 71 WPM. The next try was 85 WPM. I'm sure I could get it higher on a third try.

I'm a slow poster because I fix the typos I make, and if it's a long post I sometimes re read it to proof read it.

 

GoToSleep, this has happened to me - I guess I wasn't "wicked fast" enough! ;D If I type a post and there's ever any question I might get logged out, I highlight the text (hold shift and arrow down) and hit control-C. That way it's copied to the clipboard and if I do get logged out, I can go back and log in, reply to the post, control-V to paste it in the text box, and it's back! I routinely do this on long posts, just for that reason.

 

9 times out of 10, if you back enough times with your browser, the words are still there... just copy/paste them then...

 

Now you're dealing with an expert!
