Guys and girls, congratulations to all of you. This was the hardest text for me in my 7 months typing career.

This was a nice master, the usual suspects got rocked for a change (Karen and Andrei)... Beware the new competitors! Good job Noah, and especially Jordan.
Too bad I wasn't home yesterday, I believe I could have ranked 9th otherwise

Oh well, there's always next month. Hopefully this wasn't the first AND last non-French master of the year, and is the beginning of a new trend which might mark the end of the French/Romanian domination.
Andrei? Karen? What do you guys think?

Au fait ? Andrei ? Have you ever tried ROMANIAN 10 minutes? (on intersteno)
I would be curious to know how you do, to compare it with English.

While it is fun that the community picks the text, it is ultimately very hard for this site to call themself "international" because of that. I think they should simply offer a text in (for now) both languages, and we can vote on one from each language. When you click on the "Master of the Month" button inside the TypingZone program, it would then list the tabs across the top like it does in Permanent, for English, French, etc., for each language available for the master. This is how I would like to see it done, or similarly.

I completely agree, Jordan!
It's a wonderful idea

Maybe you can translate it to French for me

Traduction :
C'est chouette que les candidats proposent eux-mêmes le texte (du master) ! Mais il est difficile de cerner la dimension "internationale" du concours...
En fait, l'idée serait de mettre en place un concours multi-langues : le système serait le même pour les propositions de texte mais nous aurions la chance de taper du FRANCAIS et de l'ANGLAIS, et ce chaque mois. Tout comme le concours permanent, où des onglets séparent chaque texte, pi décimerde et alphabets... eh bien ici, l'idée serait la même : il y aurait deux onglets (anglais et français) et plus s'il y a d'autres langues... Et nous pourrions switcher, à chaque master, pour le texte que nous souhaitons taper... GROSSO MODO, y aurait deux classements ! (enfin je suppose ?)
Voilà.
Damz confirmera et ajoutera des remarques, si besoin est.

We've already had this idea. I agree with it at the condition that the two masters wouldn't be at the same time during the month.

I think we need a lot of moderators, one moderator each languages ?
These moderators post one text in this language and after, zonedactylo members vote for the text that he likes the more.
Is it a nice idea ? And I think the "incith" proposition is too nice but I just offer my point of view for you

So, i let you choice !

Thank you for all masters, they're all nice and more hard every months !
Good luck to you Andrei and Karen, it should be hard for you ! :p

Your english is much excellent.
I won't be there for july and august masters :/

Thanks Damz!
I think I'll try to do the French masters too from here on out, but the language difference will make it tough. I don't think I'll be able to challenge Karen and Andrei much. A regular English competition would be great.
Congrats all on good English typing this month, and dealing with the rickroll in our heads all day...

A lot of ideas, like always. But not a lot of facts, like always.
