I’m pretty sure the data entry people view themselves as another species…. that which does not make any typos and at super human speed. If spell check was meant for speed instead of correcting spelling errors I am not sure how much use the delete button would get.

I got 94 WPM!! Really exciting stuff here. Like a lot of other things, there is an art to taking the typing test—whether it goes against the test itself is something open to interpretation. With a high accuracy percentage, it is technically not necessary to go back to correct errors. There is an acceptable error percentage and anything above that does not impact the result of the test.

The strange thing about all of this is that, with real life typing I go for 100% accuracy, right? I don’t use the spell checker for a speed increase, I use it to check my spelling. I wonder what the data entry people would say…
