Good Practice - David Louis

This quote was added by dademan87
It is better to type at a pace with which you are comfortable while making minimal or no errors as opposed to typing as fast as you can and being required to go back to make corrections. You will find that by typing at a comfortable pace that you will have a quicker final speed more often than when you attempt to type as fast as you can. This will also help to build the correct muscle memory and, with time, you will naturally gain in speed and accuracy.

This is my exact thoughts, accuracy gives insane speed once I'm comfortable, speeds I didn't know I could hit. I mean not just wpm but the way I type while I do it, feeling a different type of flow which I haven't felt before.

i hate this kind of quote because even if i slow way down i still make mistakes and then people who are like 'you need accuracy' make me feel bad about myself. i regularly get accuracy ~92% and my WPM is still over 100 so like... take that...

absolutely none of the accuracies on the leaderboard being 100% is very telling

I HATE "quotes" like this, that just make me aware that I am typing.
