Who's The World's Fastest Typist?
I was thinking about this fact because I'm a freelance writer. I could get so much work done if I could just say type 80 words a minute consistently. That's not asking for so much. For some reason I thought it would be a writer wearing a smoking jacket and always looking for cigar deals. He'd use a typewriter on an old oak desk. I guess the world record according to The Guinness Book is Mrs. Barbara Blackburn from Oregon. Her fastest record was 212 wpm. She used a dvorak keyboard. I've been looking at the dvorak layout and I can't see how it would be any easier or faster but I'm stuck in a qwerty frame of mind. Also that's the first time I've typed qwerty and it was fun.
