Gah! 55wpm and I made a mistake in "eighteen-ninetes" because I used an extra letter!

58wpm with one letter out of place, but I have the Sweden game on the other monitor, so I'd like to think I could do 60 if I was 100% focussed **excuses**

I reserve the right not to take part as touchscreens suck for typing.

46wpm.

Then again, I have nothing to prove. I type as fast as I need to, and I prefer accuracy to speed most of the time. Off-the-top-of-my-head stuff like this is faster than copy typing a phrase. ;)

Completely agree - what made it very irritating was the way it would change spelling and awkward punctuation - things I don't normally change or need to consider so it made things more difficult as I had to proof-read every word and sentence.

66, no errors, but typing it on a German keyboard is annoying, as punctuation like ; : ' etc. aren't in the normal place and need shifting or alrgr+key to reach them...

53wpm with 4 errors. But in my defence I seldom ever copy-write text and type a lot faster when I'm authoring - moreso when I'm not using a laptop.
