Rig | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:55 pm     Yes, Whit, I hope more people join in. |
Grannyg | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:57 pm     I used to be that way but now at school, usually the principal will say type this letter and she proceeds to rattle off this long letter. So I guess I'm just used to someone talking to me than reading it. It's like I pay more attention to what they are saying and less to what I am typing. It's like thinking the word instead of reading the word. |
Halfunit | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 04:57 pm     I did both the English tests and found the sentences to be MUCH easier than the individual words. The funny thing is my typing stinks compaired to my 10-key, which is over 14,000 kph. Oh well, I'm happy with my score and WOO HOO to Whit for kicking major typing booty! |
Whit4you | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 05:01 pm     Half you did great! THis is much harder (to me anyhow) then normal typing...lol. I do much better with sentences too even messed up ones.. then I do typing individual words, that's cause I get into the flow of the sentences .. but it is tough at first to not assume... I'm still doing it... and having alot of errors. LOL. |
Halfunit | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 05:04 pm     I tried it again after the 327 comment and did worse, lol. Although, I am on the laptop and can't type worth a poop on it compaired to the normal PC keyboard... I know, excuses, excuses.... lol. |
Whit4you | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 05:07 pm     Oh gawd I haaaaaaaaaaate typing on a laptop lol. It's a very valid excuse in my book... But if you did 327 on that laptop...328 is just around the corner eh? |
Spygirl | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 06:07 pm     Does this thing take a long time to load once you click "Start"? I've been sitting here waiting and it won't load. I've tried it three times already. |
Spygirl | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 06:10 pm     After looking through the posts in the forum on that site, it seems that this game has a problem with certain versions of IE. Go figure it would be mine. Have fun! |
Sia | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 07:20 pm     The page wouldn't load for me, either. *Boo-hoo!* That would have been fun, too! |
Theowl | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 07:23 pm     It doesn't work for WebTVer's either. Oh Well. Not the first time!!  |
Tess | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 07:51 pm     I couldn't get it to load last night either, Spy, and I tried 3 or 4 times. |
Bob2112 | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 08:30 pm     I tried a little harder and got the cpm up to 9. Smoking! I get to be on the list twice, since I connected from 2 different domains.  |
Knightpatti | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Good Job Bob!!! I could not do it on Webtv and I really wanted to try. Wow, we have some fast typist around. Tess, too bad you could not do it! I bet you would have a high score! Does it subtract if you type a mistake and then correct it? |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 11:05 pm     I was wondering that too, Knightpatti. I was automatically going back and correcting mistakes. And when it gave me my count, it did say you have x number of correct characters per minute, and then had my misspelled words highlighted. I kind of think you just get fewer words typed if you go back and correct, and that is the penalty. I have IE 6.0.26 Spongie, you have already improved over 400%! I know Spygirl is a super fast typist. She was whipping me pretty bad playing trivia a few times in chat. We would both have the correct answer, but she beat me on the typing every time. |
Whoami | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 11:26 pm     Well, I just gave it a try. Got worse each time! Oh well. I'll try again later. It's fun! |
Tess | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 11:38 pm     Dang! I tried again, got into the group just fine and then pfffffffft. Java Applet Error. That's what kept happening yesterday. I'm using IE but I don't know which version. Oh well. If it helps at all I typed this post really, really fast and didn't have to edit! |
Abbynormal | Monday, November 04, 2002 - 11:56 pm     I tried twice and was crappy both times, but it was fun! |
Strawberry | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:15 am     I'm another one that can't get the page to load. I get to the test page and it never loads. I have IE 6.0SP1 - I'm not sure if that version doesn't work with this? I might come back later and try it again! Congrats on the high scores guys! PS Bob - you are the fastest sponge typist around! |
Sia | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:20 am     Bob, you're kidding, aren't you? You "threw that competition," didn't you? Is this part of your strategy, sort of "flying under the radar" so that you escape detection for as long as possible? I suppose you'll reveal your game strategy before the final vote, though.  |
Weinermr | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 04:30 am     If IE doesn't work, try using Netscape, and you should get in just fine. |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:19 am     My fingers are tired now - how addictive!!! Thanks Whit!!!! |
Jo_5329 | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 05:20 am     Dang, I type for a living and I sucked at this LOL |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 07:34 am     Dj - lol don't blame me blame Alegria she started this!!! Guys sorry for those who are not 'getting it to work' - I am using Netscape ver 7.0 - and it tells me it has an error when I start too - I hit "ignore' when it comes up with the three options in the error and then walla I'm playing. Occasionally it messes up and I can't read the top line, but that seems rare. This program is pretty basic so you'd think the author could get it working for webtv'ers if it doesn't yet. There's a note on the site about using Sun Java or something for IE users... We have 20 peeps on the list now... counting poor Bob and his 9 cpm |
Bob2112 | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:15 am     I like my 9 cpm. It even included several of my favorite letters. Maybe later I will go for double digits.  |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:26 am     Okay now that I'm hooked on another game...I'll try and up my score!! Woohoo poor fingers woe are them. |
