For those of us who are touch typers...

It's addictive!

That sounds like fun, and I've played similar typing games before, but this one seems glitchy. It keeps saying I have a typo and need a space after a word - but I already have a space.  :-\\\\

OMG!  I looooove this game!  Curse you, Geeta!!!!

It makes me feel rather inadequate.  I was always a bit proud of my 70wpm, but some of these people are machines!

I know, it is so much fun! I just had to win at least one race!! I can't believe some of those scores either.

Chary, I only had one glitch so far; otherwise it seemed to be pretty accurate for me.

I'll give it another try.

I love that. There is an old PC game called Typing of the Dead that you need to type to kill the zombies. That is incredibly addicting.

Wow!  I did manage to get a fluke score of 92 wpm in one of the games, but I can't seem to get my fingers to move faster than 70.

I think I might have figured out the glitch you mentioned, too.  If you go back and use the cursor to fix an error, the game doesn't recognize it.

I like it.  I won my first game!  Now I think I should quit while I feel good about my typing ability!

These are great!  I'm usually about 70 wpm but managed an 87 on one of them!  Great for the ego ;)  I like the laser games too.

Oh, gawd. Just what I need!

Another reason to procrastinate instead of working - thanks, guys!  :P

Thanks for this, Geeta! It helped me get through my non-busy last week of temping. Although my forearms ache slightly now. ;D
