I usually respond with "I don't know." because I really don't know, or joke that it came from "online gaming" or something. Out of curiosity, do you type slow when you don't know what you're going to type and make it up as you go along? For me, I'm only really fast when I type something simple, copying down stuff, or really know what I'm going to type. When it comes to typing up thesis papers or want to communicate more complicated ideas, it takes me longer to type because I'm forming the sentences and phrasing things as I type.
Yes, of course. When I'm posting on here or doing blogs, I usually 'already' know what I want to say, so I just read it in my head as I type. Fastest I've typed was up to 105 wpm, I think. I never got past 110, I know that much. Once again, I don't type normally. I use my index fingers to do most of the typing. Literally 'pecking' away at the keys.
Whenever I type up papers, I end up typing anywhere from 50-60, because I have to think as I type, I can't really just type up whatever. It has to be logical for the person that's reading it, that's the hardest part for me. Sometimes, when I type papers, I go all over the place by accident.
