Mary, ignore Yiwu. Here are court typists recording english who do 280 words per minute ilcra.org with 200 being boringly normal. Scroll down a bit to see the speeds they mention. Yiwu is correct that 70 words per minute for normal QWERTY typing is what run of the mill typists do, but some can do 120 words per minute. The record would be faster than that. Wubi seems to be the best chinese character input method [fastest] sciencedaily.com But look at this new thing. One-handed input at over 100 words per minute. wangma.com.cn And easy to learn, though skill in typing would take some time to develop. So chinese is easily input and at a better speed than the old QWERTY method. The QWERTY method needs a revamp. Maybe english needs a revamp too - it's still in its medieval form. But from what people tell me, chinese lacks a few things which english has in the way of grammatical forms which enable more precise description. Chinese aren't putting in 200 words per minute. 180 seems to be about the normal sort of maximum, but 100 words per minute is more normal for people who are good at it. Which is still better than the average cyberspacoid hacking away in QWERTY at maybe 50 words per minute or 30 words per minute using hunt and peck technique instead of touch typing. Japan was in bubble mode in the 1980s, same as the USA was in bubble mode entering Y2K. Jay and co say the USA is still in bubble mode and there is going to be a Big Bubble Burst as described in Booms Bust and Recoveries [aka the Great Financial Collapse of 2001, which has notably not happened ... snicker... doomsters waiting on the top of a mountain for the second coming]. I didn't know there were such good chinese input methods. With swanky little CDMA2000 powered 1xEV-DO and GSM1x phragmented photon cyberphones, Chinese will be enjoying a much better mobile cyberspace experience than english users who will have trouble getting letters into the gadgets. That one-handed chinese input method looks good. Mqurice
