1. About how many typos do you think you make per day? (estimation)

I don't know, I don't make a lot, but I am a pretty poor typer overall... as slow as I type, I shouldn't really make many typos!!

2. Do you think you are a pretty good typer that normally doesn't make many typos or do you have a lot of room for improvement?

I have a ton of room for improvement!! I am a horrible typer!!

3. Take this test. What is your WPM (words per minute) rating?

45-48!! lol

4. Can you type without looking at the keyboard?

Well, technically, I can type without looking at the keyboard, but what I type will not make any sense at all!! So yeah, I do look at the keyboard for the most part, unless I am typing a word that I commonly type, and I have memorized it.

5. What color is your keyboard?

White

6. What type is your keyboard?

It is a Compaq. It is the one that came with my computer that I have had since 1999.

4) Yep, pretty easily.

1. About how many typos do you think you make per day? (estimation)
Maybe ten to fifteen. I don't really talk to that many people online, so I'm not trying to communicate with this person and that at once (so my spelling doesn't suffer). With one of my friends, though, typos are a running joke, depending on what they are.

2. Do you think you are a pretty good typer that normally doesn't make many typos or do you have a lot of room for improvement?
Normally good.

3. Take this test (http://www.typingmaster.com/index.asp?go=tmonline_comp). What is your WPM (words per minute) rating?
Didn't work for me, which I don't find surprising with my ancient computer (the internet is obviously not the most favoured programme for this machine).

4. Can you type without looking at the keyboard?
Yes, to a point, and ignoring the increased rate of typos.

5. What color is your keyboard?
Beige?

6. What type is your keyboard?
I don't know. It has "KTX" with a small "registered" symbol, but really it's just a keyboard.

2. Do you think you are a pretty good typer that normally doesn't make many typos or do you have a lot of room for improvement?
I think I am a pretty good typer.
3. Take this test. What is your WPM (words per minute) rating?
98.
4. Can you type without looking at the keyboard?
Yes.
5. What color is your keyboard?
Black.
6. What type is your keyboard?
Wireless.

4. No, but I can type without looking at the screen... Oh, wait... I can! I'd never tried before and it takes a lot longer, but I can!
5. Used to be white, now it's whatever color the accumulated dirt allows it.

1. About how many typos do you think you make per day? (estimation)

O.o For me too many to count. Probably a minimum of three a day thoguh usually alot more. I've given up on counting much less estimatiing it. Its safe to say that there's a list out there with plenty of the ones i made on it ^^;; (though there are some made by others on it too)

1. About how many typos do you think you make per day? (estimation)
I wouldn't really say that many. I never really have to edit posts or anything. I guess in school I have to correct my words about twice a day and perhaps in chatrooms I make a few typos a day. I'll say about 6 or 7.

2. Do you think you are a pretty good typer that normally doesn't make many typos or do you have a lot of room for improvement?
Considering that I've never really taken a proper I.T. class and I've learnt to type just from being online anad having my own comp. I'm pretty good. I still have to look at the keyboard.

3. Take this test. What is your WPM (words per minute) rating?
57 per minute...I didn't know what to do at first so I lost a few seconds. I didn't read the first sentence before I started, which I should have done ^^;

4. Can you type without looking at the keyboard?
Not on the long term but I can take my eyes off it for about 10 or 20 seconds. I make more mistakes when I don't look at the keyboard though. HEY! I just tried and I only had to backspace about 3 times!!! :)

5. What color is your keyboard?
Cream...but a bit dirty since I've had it for 3 years.

6. What type is your keyboard?
It's a Compaq :)

EDIT: Typo XD!

1. About how many typos do you think you make per day? (estimation)
Yeah, I make quite alot. But I backspace just as fast as I type, as a habit, so it isn't really a problem.

I make alot of typos, by accuracy needs to be improved, but I believe my speed is quite good.

92 WPM.

Yep, that is how I usually type, saves alot of time and it is a habit.

1. Without fixing up my mistakes I can make a lot of typos... It also depends on how quick I'm typing, and in what position I'm in (no dirty ideas please ;)). I don't know, I'm at the computer all day. It can go into the hundreds. Maybe 500 - 600.

2. Relates to my WPM. It's really high but my typo-rate is very disturbing xD There's definitely room for improvement.

3. The test didn't work for me, but I have other programs on my computer that tell me what my WPM is. It's gone up to 120-130 WPM before while I was typing real fast, but the average for me is around 95-100 WPM.

4. *Doesn't look at keyboard and types*

5. It's white. Plain white. Nothing special, but a turbo key on it.

6. Normal keyboard? I don't know. Silly question.

1. Probably about 30 or so a day, but I pay attention to my keystrokes so I generally correct them automatically (for example, I hit the 's' key trying to type correct, then backspaced and hit 'c' without thinking about it.)
2. I don't usually make too many errors that last any length of time because of the skill outlined in part 1.
3. Gross speed of 79 wpm, apparently.
4. Yes.
5. Grey.
6. Standard non-ergonomic.
