Two finger typist? Faster than the speed of light?

Having had shorthand and typing mercilessly thrust upon us at journalism school years ago, I've been touchtyping for years and been eternally grateful for those forced lessons, as computers became a way of life.

But have only now found this cool little typing race (complete with hot cars and traffic lights) site to see what speed I managed to keep up at! Good for both a giggle, curiousity; and motivating your colleagues or kids to practice a repetitive skill they're going to need whether they want it or not!

Excessive punctuation does you in if they give you a tough sentence. Typo's slow you down because you have to go back and correct... I guess that's only fair ! Funny site.
