Language skills

63% of blogs are written by women. this is consistent with findings that women use their whole brain for language (men only use one half). i get the distinct feeling that women are more articulate and eloquent on average. fun to be a minority, both in having a blog and in reading skills. i read at 600 words per minute, making me 3 times faster than average at a comprehension rate of 82%. i didn’t realize that the difference would be that large. apparently, the sound barrier (speech) is at 400 words per minute. with some training, it should be possible to break 1000 wpm or more. some bogus? company claims that their product allows you to achieve 25000 wpm.

as for writing, i never learned touch typing really well which sets me back. i need to test later. apparently its possible to reach 170 wpm if you are REALLY good.
