    As someone with fat fingers and autocorrect disabled, I wish I had 22 wpm with high accuracy.

    And before you suggest autocorrect, I use a lot of acronyms and jargon that autocorrect often fails at. It gets annoying enough that I’d rather just type stuff out myself.

      Fair enough! I don’t use autocorrect either, but I guess I don’t have the same problem with my fingers that you’re experiencing.

      I just can’t fathom it taking me nearly three seconds to type a word. I’d be surprised if the majority of words take me even one second to type.
