Dear CAPS lock: I hate you

Im a self taught touch typist.

I learned at a very young age in my teens.

I learned so that I could copy morse code at higher rates of speed than I could hand write.

After a while there was a disconnect of the delay of hear the dits and dahs translated into which key to press and it became almost subconcious automatic.

At that time I could copy code at 60wpm, talk on the telephone, and read a magazine all at the same time.

Now Im lucky to copy code at 30wpm and get it all correct.

I can still type pretty fast though.

But I still cant find one of these !

"Your speed was: 48wpm.

You made 5 mistakes"

Damn, I got flashbacks of the typing class.

Edit. I also got loads of numbers in my text, I can't ten-finger-type numbers.

Well, it helped that I got Churchill's never surrender speech, it did not help that I couldn't remember a thing of it...
