Well said, J, and this message of yours is equally motivating. Thanks for the advice.

An honest message to everyone on the site

To increase your typing speed, you need to practice. But don't sit there for hours on a day trying to. Take it simply, and maybe try 10 tests a day, but be focused on the words you're typing, so you are less likely to make mistakes. Accuracy is key. All the top typists have extremely fast accuracy, so focus on spelling the words correctly first time rather than making and correcting mistakes

Also, consider if you actually need a super-quick typing speed like the ones shown. Fast typing for an extended duration, could lead to Repetitive Strain Injury of the fingers, hands and wrists, so it's okay to type at an average speed

Finally, I'd like to say that this is an excellent site. Some of the messages within these typing tests are really motivating and humbling, so its well worth being consistent in your goal to increase your speed.
