@jellyfishslapper Yeah, and when those long nails hit those keys, it makes a really irritating clicking noise. I spent several years in court reporting school and it was hard to concentrate with the long-nailed girls sitting next to you, clacking away. Yuck.
"Even the fastest typists can only type about 100 words per minute" -- NONSENSE! The limit for typists on a standard keyboard (whatever the key layout) is more like 200 WPM. 100 WPM is not a big deal at all. See the score tables at Typeracer . com.
@daniel55645 Yep. I think you're introducing factors that were not in the video. It said that "Even the fastest typists can only type about 100 WPM," not ". . . for long periods of time" or ". . . with no errors." My point was that the video appears to claim that the pinnacle of typing achievement is to be considered 100 WPM, which is far below many typists' regular performance, even for long periods of time, though I don't know that they make no mistakes at all.
That's it?

Great description. Thank you. A tip, though: Cut the nails. You will be a better writer because of this simple thing.
