Wow! Unbelievable if Andrei gets over 800... Really!

I couldn't believe it.

Wait just a few days for Georgette answer. She'll send you login and password.

Good luck!

(link deleted; I got 628.7cpm, 0.05% error, which is a score of 6137)

Was the text much harder than when you did 720 in practice? How come you didn't do nearly as good?

By the way, did you read the PM I sent you a few days ago?

I really don't know. I screwed up repeatedly in the beginning and made many many typos, then went back and fixed them. It was a bad run.

I just looked up my PMs now that you mentioned it, and I responded. In general I don't check PMs though, but my email address is my username at mit.edu.

GOOD JOB, guys!

688, 628, 601 ... cpm
Great.

As far as I'm concerned, yesterday I did two attempts (in French): 689 with 3 mistakes and 687 with 3 mistakes.

I don't know if I'll get 700 cpm for the contest... but I would love that.

Tonight I'll begin with some languages, perhaps. But I miss practice.

Did you learn the Russian layout? I've been trying to type in Russian yesterday, and I could hardly pass 200 cpm on 1 minute :S

Chen is a legend! really...

Eh oui... Si je pouvais en faire autant le jour J

J'vous jure, j'ai le cafard.

Quand j'ai vu cette performance, j'me suis précipité pour me logger en vue de concourir en Français... J'vous jure, j'ai terriblement hésité ! (mais j'ai préféré ne rien faire)

Alors me voici là, à copier mon screen, tout fier de moi, mais tellement triste de penser que mon score, au final, ne sera pas aussi wonderful.

( Pour info >> Je m'étais fixé un espèce d'objectif : être capable de taper en tout temps à 720 CPM (ou plus) pendant dix minutes (..vitesse qui équivaut environ à 120 MPM..) au bout de deux ans. Et je crois bien que c'est le début d'une grande histoire d'amour entre Mad'moiselle 720-CPM et moi. )

..joke.. (mais ne nous écartons pas du sujet)

L'idée, ce serait que je sois, à un instant Y dans ma vie (et ce, pendant une certaine durée) le meilleur frappeur francophone dans le monde. Maintenant, la question qui se pose, c'est... y a-t-il quelqu'un capable de taper au-delà de 750 caractères par minute, en Français et sur dix minutes ?

Que de prétention !
Bref... Je vous attends, les zigotos rapidos qui ont les pistoungettes qui flanchent.

C'EST RELATIF, évidemment. Si nous évaluions une vitesse brute, par exemple sur "Notre connaissance de la vie est différemment plus vaste qu'il y a deux jours, mais il ne peut guère pleuvoir...", je me ferais ramassé par certains (hein jeandid krikri).

Samer quand même !
Croisez les doigts pour que j'écrase un ou deux Tchèques, quand même.

Excellent, I hope you can repeat your performance. You've become an amazing typer, Karen.

Motsak · Post by **Motsak** » 26 Apr 2009 13:38

Actually, I'm achieving my goal, which was to be able to type over 720 cpm on ten minutes, and that when I want.

I was expecting to a such ability in more or less two years... but in fact, it's stupid! since it's only a question of concentration, self-control...

You, like me, or Jelani.. Chris.. even Andrei.. are capable of getting over 700 cpm! But indeed it's an impressive speed that only a few typists reach.

Anyway!
You know, when I'm competing, I'm stressing terribly. Example: for the foreign languages that I've typed for the moment, I was slow

I felt very slow... because I watched a lot on what I was typing... for fear of making mistakes.

You are above all that a genius!

You represent our lovely TypingZone wonderfully!
Thank you to be so talented, so powerful...

Hey, Dan, why did you type FR(BE) and not FR?
The text was hard? as you did 7 mistakes.

I'm hezitating. I don't know if I'll type FR or FR(BE).

fairyofwind · Post by **fairyofwind** » 26 Apr 2009 14:32

No, the text is easy. I made 7 mistakes because towards the end the line got shifted by one word and it was difficult to see when I made mistakes

text:
a b c d e f g
h i j k l m n
o p q r s t u

i was typing:
a b c d e f g h
i j k l m n o
p q r s t u v
