Oh right. So does Typefaster count each of those as a word? I read on wikipedia that a word is classed a five characters (for word per minute calculations). I just assumed that Typefaster would add all characters together and divide by five. If it doesn't that could be considered a bug don't you think?

Edit: It explains the low score, so thanks for that, Shai

Edit 2: From Wikipedia:

"Words per minute, commonly abbreviated wpm, is a measure of input or output speed.

For the purposes of WPM measurement a word is standardized to five characters or keystrokes. So, "zebra" counts as one word, but "rhinoceros" counts as two.

The benefits of a standardized measurement of input speed are that it enables comparison across language and hardware boundaries. The speed of an Afrikaans-speaking operator in Cape Town can be compared with a Dutch-speaking operator in Brussels."

must be a subconscious thing. apologies to anyone insulted! I tried make it random.
