    You know, I never really thought about all the friction I make when I visit my favorite porn sites and the possibility of starting a fire.

    I actually just checked.. TO1 still takes in a metric boatload more reviews than TV (I guess not too surprising...) but TV crushes TO2 by a good margin.

    Then again, when TO1 reviews are 1-bombing Galileo of all Reqs.. I'm not sure how useful those #s are o_O

    i gotta ask, i think i've been around 100ish wpm for the past 10 years lol. did you make the conscious effort to get to where you are? or did you just type so much that that's where you are now?

    @dan do you do any transcription or captioning work? Because at that wpm, you could probably make pretty good money.

    I learned to type when I was 7 or 8 and used to write stupid short stories on an old IBM computer. I'm 31 now. I just was on the computer a lot as I grew up so I learned to type fast I guess. I dunno. Wasn't really an effort, just kind of something I became good at.

    Not trying to take away from @dan (because that's a good 20wpm better than I can touch), but 10fastfingers isn't an accurate representation of true typing speed (because things like punctuation and capitalization actually exist). In essence, don't be too quick to put those results on your resumé lol

    An occasional HIT on mTurk and consistent HITs on UHRS (which are just like one sentence of old people saying stuff like, "Hey cortana, find me naked girls"

    For sure, all it has is capital letters - and plus it's actual words that I've typed many times before. They're mostly simple 6 letter or less words. When you get to words you have to actually think how to spell - that's when it gets difficult.

    i'm in a similar boat, since about age 10, i've not been away from computers (mostly gaming, <S> to all the mechwarrior players out there!) but i've seemed to plateau. i'm 29 now so i don't know if any more time, by itself, will increase my typing speed ;.; anddd i've also switched to dvorak, due to the claims it heps with hand injuries.. and i have a few lol.

    so, if anyone out there was able to reliabley increase their typing speed, after i'd say... a few years of existing typing, let me know your secrets :p

    (and of course i mean not too overly obvious things like chicken pecking and all. i do type at 100ish wpm, so i'm past all the most basic problems, just not sure what's holding me back now.)

    /novel, sorry :p

    Anyone know if that Cammie hit is safe if you did one on 11/16? They don't seem to be the same hit but they are titled the same.
