37 wpm, 5 mistakes. I am making an effort to touch-type, hence the increased number of errors.
Today's text was taken from The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. Huzzah for early SciFi!

you once gave me that book as part of your goody bag post birthday party when we were kids.
ReplyDeletetrue fact.
I'm surprised you still remember. I barely did until you reminded me.
ReplyDeleteAnd... Wells, really? Wells and not Verne? I'm a little disappointed, though Wells is still quite good.
Wells, not Verne. I remember because there ain't no H.G. Verne that I know of, and I was particularly amused by the H.G. in H.G. Wells.
ReplyDeleteAlso, hiiiiiii. Pretend I say that in the way you say it when you are not too busily distracted by other thoughts.
Excluding the touch-typing day, it appears you're on a logarithmic learning curve. Based on a rough calculation that I did during English, the curve is approximately y = 5.6418*ln(x)+9.9765, where y is wpm - number of errors and x is the day number. If I recall correctly, you were never that into the physicist's assume-everything-is-a-ball-and-there-are-no-non-conservative-forces way of roughly estimating things, so for your reading pleasure I made sure the coefficient of determination for the previous function is at least 0.95.
