Certainly very fast for your age. When I was ten, I don't type correctly, and my speed was probably only 20 WPM.

well my hands do have to move around a little bit to type but i try to use all ten fingers (except for my pinkies, i only really use them for, like, the shift key). 20 wpm does sound like how most of the other kids in my grade would type.

Another reason why I want Linux.

Everyone in my business class plays NitroType except me.

ikr

Sentences such as “Scratch is the best” or “The cat jumped over the dog” or “Alas, dad had a glass salad” can be typed significantly faster than random words in my opinion.
