250 words would be about 1/2 a page of typing.  Microsoft word has a feature that allows you to count the words automatically.  Try it.\n\nGo to Tools and Word Count.

Practicing typing skills isn't actually the same as using it every day. Begin typing paragraphs, type letters to family or friends, just start typing your novel!! The more you use it, the better it gets - I type on a computer for a living but I flunked every single typing test I ever took & flunked typing class as well!! Speed & accuracy comes with using it.\nTo quote Nike - Just Do It!! Good Luck!

Typing\n\nAs of 2005, Barbara Blackburn is the fastest typist in the world, according to The Guinness Book of World Records. \n\nUsing the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard, she has maintained 150 word/min for 50 min, 170 word/min for shorter periods of time, and has been clocked at a peak speed of 212 word/min. Blackburn failed her typing class in high school, first encountered the Dvorak keyboard in 1938, quickly learned to achieve very high speeds, and occasionally toured giving speed-typing demonstrations during her secretarial career.\n\n\n\n\nReading\n\nEducated adults read at 200-350 wpm, at best 400 wpm for full comprehension. Research has shown that speed reading at 600 wpm can achieve about 70% comprehension, and 50% comprehension at 1000 wpm.\n\n\nSpeech\n\nBooks on tape are 150-175 words per minute, slide presentations tend to be closer to 100 wpm. Conversations are around 200 wpm, and although research by Ronald Carver has demonstrated that while adults can listen with full comprehension at 300 wpm, even auctioneers can only speak at about 250 wpm.

The Mavis Beacon educational typing programs are really good. That's how I learned how to type and I can type like 70 words per minute. (after learning the basics of typing using instant messenger or something really helped also [it's good practice])

If someone is a poor typer, switch the M and N keys on the keyboard and watch them flip out!  (Assuming, of course, that you work in an office environment.)

Consider holding down the Alt key whilst typing 253 on the numeric keypad - it would make this easier to read:\n4r²-25s²/2r²+3rs-20s\nor should it be:\n4r²-25s²/(2r²)+3rs-20s\nor:\n4r²-25s²\n--------\n2r²+3rs-20s
