Yes I can and yes I feel super human especially when people see me typing. People who "hunt and peck" around the keyboard are amazed when they see my speed.
Years ago I used to be able to type at 80 wpm plus but have just tested myself here
and I am only on 50 wpm but that is with no errors at all, which I'm pleased about.
Tried that got got 143wpm, but that was pretty slow for me If I know exactly what I'm writing and it's already in my mind, I'm probably at 180wpm. I write all day which is why I'm so fast.

There's a big difference between copy typing and typing what's in your mind!
Just realised I am so superhuman that I missed a 0 off my score.;)

I did a test at a recruitment agency last week and my speed came back as 75wpm with no errors. I learnt to type at school 20 years ago, also on the old clonky type writers.
I don't feel superhuman but it is nice to have that speed when an urgent medical document needs to get sorted
I can, I did an admin course after university that is the most useful qualification I have ever taken. It does make me feel slightly superhuman. I make a lot of noise typing, a real rattle and bang, which may subconciously be about attracting attention to my super speed.
I can also do shorthand. This has the same super human feel to it, when you are taking notes in a meeting or something.:D

I did t-line! I am not sure what the difference is, I think it is something to do with pitman using upper, middle and lower more, or maybe vice versa. My mum always swore pitman was better and I suspect so - things like that don't always benefit from change.
Yeah, I can and I do It's amazing how many people in my office can't touch type.
I particularly like holding eye contact with people and having a conversation with them while still typing something completely different. Just now I'm touch typing this while watching TV intently for work!
I made 60wpm on that test, but it failed to take into account that I had corrected all my mistakes en-route - so my speed was actually much higher (not known), with 8 uncorrected mistakes, and 60wpm all mistakes corrected within the time.
And yes, I love seeing peoples faces when this guy turns up with hands like hams, who promptly types at blistering speed - in fact I can type as quickly as I can think - at least it seems that way.
But then RAF sight and sound training, followed by 30+ years typing experience will do that.
Never had a moment's RSI, due to proper training. Keep those wrists up folks. Don't get lazy and use a wrist rest while trying to type at speed.

Type =rand(200,99) into Word and you get that bold text several times over.

What about
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.

Pitman shorthand! The boats are in the bay!

I can. I'm not sure if that's something to be proud of or not.
It just shows that you can't afford a secretary.:o:p
I'm impressed. Men either do the one finger thing or two hand thing but look where they are going......tis cheating!
I remember that at school, and the teacher stood at the front of the class shouting it over and over!! I don't feel superhuman though.
edit: I can also pull pints, I was a barmaid for nearly 15 years....preferred it to typing.!
I can pull pints and mix drinks too.
We are invincible

edited 120wpm not 200
Think it's just other stuff in your head mate. Mine has dropped to 80 words per minute from over 100 regularly.
I was just about to say, 200wpm is almost superhuman!
Me too and me too.
