The ability to type quickly, without very many
mistakes, is an important skill for many jobs.
The speed of typing is calculated by the words
per
minute or wpm you're
able to type. The average
person types between 30 and 40 wpm, but many jobs
require a faster typing speed.
It's important to type quickly, but it's also important to
type correctly, without errors in spelling or
punctuation. The accuracy of typing is calculated by
how few errors there are in the text that you type.
