My speed was 67 WPM with 1 mistake (adjusted speed 66 WPM) Can crack 80wpm but with enough mistakes to earn me a caning from the head misteress. Actually, im not that old... really! I just like thinking about head mistresses

Edited to add: 78 words and 4 mistakes

Im sure there are PHers who will trounce my humble efforts...

41 but I always find it quicker to type when I am using my own words rather than copy typing.

finding enough to eat while flying became somewhat challenging when I entered my lacto-ovo vegetarian years.

It means a vegetarian who eats milk and eggs. Don't laugh, I had some bloody nightmares whilst flying, with it all!

Depends - If I type the passage they give me, I get 25 wpm and a load of spelling mistakes. However, if you type your own paragraph in there with the same number of words, I get closer to 80 with no spelling mistakes.

63... thought it would be more like 40! Not sure whether it's worth going back to correct all the mistooks though
