Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
This applies to surprisingly many tasks in life.
That said, I've been pushing to hit 100 wpm typing with minimal typos for years just because it's a nice round number and I keep ending up just shy. Character typos aren't even that big of a deal, as I find a good chunk of mistakes are actually "thought-os" where I type in the completely wrong giraffe. So being able to recover dynamically from misakes is valuable too.
- Mirioron 7y agoI wonder why some people type faster. If tested, I average around 125 wpm in reasonable tests (625 cpm really). I've never tried to learn to type quickly. I've never had anything beyond a $10 keyboard and I don't even type like it's taught (my hands overlap on some characters). Despite that I type quite fast with few errors - most of my mistakes are also related to typing in something completely different. It was quite shocking to me when I found out that my friends typed at below 80 wpm when trying to type fast.
- mewpmewp2 7y agoDid you learn the proper technique at an early age? As in not looking at the keyboard and using all 10 fingers. This is what I did and I feel it has been a huge advantage for me.
- Intermernet 7y agoPretty sure you meant giraffe instead of giraffe, but I may be misaken ;-)
