How fast can you type?

On the test, I got 59, then I got 69.

Its kind of a bull**** test though, since even though I MOSTLY touchtype, I still find it annoying to read and type at the same time.

So I opened up OpenOffice and typed the following using the timer from the test but typing random sentences from my head. (What I did was, highlight the box in the test, immediately hit space, click my word program, and start typing.)

"I just can't belive there are people out there who would refuse to localise a game as good as the ace attorney series, regardless of its profitability on a western scale. Its a fantastic series and I wish capcom were bringing more of it out more quickly and more well regardedly in order to capitalise on their fantastic writing and storytelling. With that said however capcom are evil bastards and for that reason I must tell them to **** themselves with hoses." - 82 words

"Well isn't that awkward, the priest hasn't shown up and I'm due to be wed in a half hour, where the devil is the old bastard anyway? I surely do not have to remind you that this is imperative in order for my dowry to be paid on time to the station master at crewe, who is a buffoon and a fool. I believe it is of the utmost importance that you find him immediately and as such give him a damn good thrashing so as to impress upon him the importance of this. Go to it you" - 98 words.

So in conclusion, I type a damned sight more quickly than that test would give me credit for, because reading out words in a random order that doesn't even have a sentence structure is bloody annoying.
