I was thinking the other day, i read something where someone who works in an office, feels that she is hard done to because she gets the same number of emails etc as everyone else in the office to reply to, but she can't type quick atall, she she has to spend an extra hour or so a day after work , when everyone else has gone home (She didnt get paid anymore) just to keep up to scratch with everyone. She said she feels hard done to because its not her fault she cant type fast.
Now i see where she was coming from, but tbh, you dont be an office worker who has to type loads if you cant really type that fast do you! lol
Now onto what i started, is there anyone on mylot who can only type slow? and feels that because they arnt the wuickest typer its harder for them to earn? as in the time they have replied to one thing, someone who is really quick could have replied to 4 or so?
This isnt ment to start an arguement or anything, but i just wnated to know how people who are slower at typing feel, if there is anyone. Or does everyone just like typing at their own speed, and not really fussed how much they earn, or how long it takes them?
Regards,
Chris

I'm not a slow typist so I can't honestly say, but yeah, it does get annoying if people are too slow. While I kinda pity that girl, I'll have to say that most of the time work emails shouldn't require all that much text to reply....think more quickly and practising typing should naturally make people go faster. :D

It is good when you can type fast. This enable you to make more money. As to that office girl maybe if she cuts her long fingernail she will be able to type more than 30wpm. Now in order for my MYLOT friends to type fast. Here is a typing lesson free of cost.
The middle keys on the key board: asdf jkl; yes those. They are the home keys. As long as you put your fingers over them and study the keys above and below them you will be a fast typist.
All the best.

It doesn't bother me when someone can't type fast here on MyLot but when I am on MSN Messenger YahooMessenger or the like and I have to wait a long time to get a two word answer back that annoys me especially if they don't even know 'internet lingo' or shortcuts that would help them get the message out a lot sooner.
Great question

I would not class myself as the quickest person in the world when in comes to typing but I am not that slow either, I think people should not worry about what they are up to on here as it is the quality of what you right that is also important, however if your slow and then going to go into a job and do a role that needs you to be quick I think you need to consider if you can handle it or not becuase you dont want to be doing work and not getting paid for it at the end of the day.
