I type 55 milliliters per fortnight...Quarterly!
If you are under the age of 21 you are so indoctrinated with technology you can probably type and text fast enough to scare most humans and alien races. For most of us typing is a way of life, it's just something you do daily... whether you are catching up with high school friends on facebook or cyber-bullying that girl you hate into becoming bulimic; you are enchancing your typing skills!
So imagine my surprise filling out applications that asked simply: How fast do you type? in Words Per Minute?
I wanted to respond, I type 55 milliliters per fortnight!
How do I calculate that? Is there a setting somewhere on my computer that has logged my typing prowess?
