Wow, it's pretty interesting that you took the time to challenge the statement without actually verifying that you are correct.

You are, of course, wrong. Cursory googling will show average typing speed to be about half the figure I noted. I've never worked with anyone who typed as quickly as I can, and I've been working quite a while.

But hey, at least you got to drop a dig in about adverbs, so you've got that going for you.

I recommend expanding your web search just a little farther... 90 WPM is not considered "very, very high"!

90 WPM is ok, certainly above average. But please don't take it personally, I was just scrolling through the comments and saw what I thought was a typo, and if not, thought I'd share my perspective. 120WPM can be considered "fast".

If 90 WPM is "very, very fast" then what about those at 120 or 150?

I don’t understand - why the childish behaviour and wilful ignorance? If the facts don’t matter to you, that’s fine. All the best.

I don't see any adverbs in the post being referred to, making it even more pointless. "Speed" is a noun, not a verb. "Time" is also a noun, so in both cases we're looking at adjectives.
