    Default Learn good typing!

    I'm surprised on how many errors i make when I type with the correct finger positions. Let me tell you, it's hard to break bad habits.

    I failed the first lesson like 8 times. GAH!

    You should try it out. If we write most things on a computer, why not learn how to type well and efficiently.

    its impossible for me to pass, as I cannot type in spanish

    (yes, I don't have that n-thingy)

    EDIT1: nevermind-got it to US standards.
    EDIT2: I'm pretty good: second time round, made a 2.42% error.
    EDIT3: second test is even better-1.21% the first time.

    I do have one issue though: I'm a slow typist in the general sense; I'm averaging 18-23 words a minute. I suspect that may be your issue: you're probably either not careful, or too fast-I dunno, I've never seen ye type.

    Since when do people need to type such nonsensical gibberish; who uses so many damned semi-colons?
    The lessons were flawed as no person needs to type such nonsense accurately (I understand the first few lessons about correct finger placement, but after that it just becomes stupid). If it was more applied with actual real words that people might actually type some day, the lessons may become a little more worthwhile.
    I got to lesson 8 before I gave up, during which I went with my own basis of >5% error = failure.
