Same for me, I type really quickly in French, but in English, I am much slower (65 avg). It would be great to have an option to choose the languages of the quotes... Thanks for the game, in the meanwhile ! :) I agree on the different language suggestion. Same for me, I type really quickly in French, but in English, I am much slower (65 avg).

If you have any other ideas that might work, by all means, let us know. We didn’t forsee the test will be a problem since it asks you to type 20 wpm slower than your result and errors don’t count. So we figured it would not be too hard to pass. Let’s see if people can get used to these. Of course we’ll also be working on ways to make this typing test easier.

Every now and then, I hit a hot streak - a combination of a good passage that is written similarly to my own writing style and just plain being in-the-zone - and score better than I usually do (say, ~120wpm). Then, you challenge me to type a passage made of complete nonsense at 108wpm, and threaten to disqualify the score if my mind can't make sense out of gibberish about the Pakleds making Picard confuse the Sheliak. Give me a damn break and find a real way to combat cheaters; not this crap. Am I the only one who thinks these impromptu typing tests are BS?
