I'm a lousy typist, plus I hate typing. It bores me senseless yawn This is probably why I only do a few posts at a time on here before I fall sleep and emails are usually a no-go thumbs down Think I've only written two in the last year.

as good as any secretary, training way back in my youth. Do a lot of typing in work, but by the time I log on here its usually in the evenings at home and I'm tired so dont type as good as I can. And I rarely get into in depth debates here because of that, but I like give my opinion now and then!

The only experience most of us have of the Chinese culture here is in our local Chinese takeaway restaurant and we tend to know what we want by its number on the menu whereas you have gone to the trouble of learning English!laugh

And the truth is that it's not proper Chinese food. You wouldn't eat the rubbish that we eat!laugh

I learned to type back in the days of manual typewriters. I had a very strict typing teacher, but I've always been glad I learned the way I did. The last time I took a typing test, I was clocked at 140+ words per minute. I make few typos. I type so much that I actually wear the letters off keyboards. Good grief! I need a life!

Being a legal secretary I had to type quickly.

Problem is, my thinking is slower than my typing so I can't always get my responses in fast enough. moping

You should try out for the world record!

".....In one study of average computer users, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, and only 19 words per minute for composition. In the same study, when the group was divided into "fast", "moderate" and "slow" groups, the average speeds were 40 wpm, 35 wpm, and 23 wpm respectively.

An average professional typist reaches 50 to 70 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other time-sensitive typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120.[citation needed] Two-finger typists, sometimes also referred to as "hunt and peck" typists, commonly reach sustained speeds of about 37 wpm for memorized text, and 27 wpm when copying text but in bursts may be able to reach up to 60 to 70 wpm. Some people can type upwards of 70 wpm with two fingers.
........."
