I see that the current holder of the first place @manpe hasn't done this in English (position 0 out of 63). That's right motherfucker, we got you now! :ph34r:

Is it allowed to do the test in my native language instead of English? Much easier for me because my fingers are more used to writing words in Finnish and when trying to type fast in English I'm sometimes having trouble finding the letter which are not common in Finnish (Q, W, Z, B etc.)

True, I did it in my native language. It was my second try, my first try in Estonian was shameful, a bit over 100 WPM. I did it to test out how it would fare against English... tbh, there was no real difference. The words were generally longer, which is reflected in the amount of keystrokes and words (more keystrokes in Estonian, but significantly less words). I don't know how I got 126 WPM tbh, since in the English one I typed more words, but less keystrokes, which is probably why.

I still feel I can do better though. In total I've done about 5-7 tests, so there is naturally room for improvement. I make some annoying mistakes, get lapses in concentration and thus slow down a bit. I find the best way to do it is if you read the words out loud while typing.

And yes I think it would be fairer if it was allowed to be done in native language, otherwise the English speaking folks will have an advantage ;)

But, but, but, but, but, but

995 chars is a pretty good achievement, even though you didn't get a single letter correct.

We've now got a top 20:

1. manpe [Estonia] (124)

2. LumH [Albania] (122)

3. Alex [England] (112)

4. Rambo [Canada] (107)

5. capriccioso [Australia] (99)

6. Pr22 [Finland] (93)

7. Bir_CFC [Canada] (91)

8. Clevemayer [Germany] (90)

9. Sh0n3x [serbia] (89)

10. RyanDavidson [scotland] (85)

11. We Hate Scouse [England] (84)

12. Artinho [slovenia] (82)

13. BluesMaster [England] (82)

14. sil826 [italy] (80)

15. Naked Mole Rat [south Korea] (74)

16. Dave30 [England] (63)

17. Spike Spiegel [Australia] (63)

18. Kezza [New Zealand] (57)

19. Hutcho_CFC [England] (52)

20. Liquidator [England] (44)

Rambo, Pr22 and Bir really shook up the standings. The gap between Liquidator at the bottom and manpe at the top is an enormous chasm, manpe types nearly 3 words in the time it takes Liquidator to type one!
