I now know someone who claims to be able to type 140 words per minute (on a standard Qwerty keyboard), and that’s pretty impressively fast. I can only type about 100 WPM on a good day and that’s on Dvorak, which is “optimized” for speed and efficiency. On the other hand, come to think of it, a record for typing speed is held by a woman named Barbara Blackburn (I’d think it would be strange if it were a man named Barbara Blackburn, wouldn’t you?) who can type 170 WPM consistently and uses Dvorak as well. I topped out at 50 or 60 on Qwerty when I was in high school before I learned Dvorak, so that clearly shows that I’m inferior and my brain operates at a slow and leisurely pace compared to those of others. Ha ha.
