I'm so glad I'm not alone. It pops into my head every now & again. My 3rd grade friend Ginny and I would skip all the sentences until this one...there was no penalty. This was around 1987 and we hit like 140 wpm lol. #Game

Just got a new mechanical keyboard and feelin Typey! So of course the first thing I google is my favorite sentence from junior high computer class. "A girl is going into a grass region"- I was able to type the fastest of anything I've ever typed... like 90wpm or something. Somehow this particular sentence in its entirety became a single muscle memory stroke.
Glad I'm not alone. It haunts me :)

I dominated this sentence and it's hilarious that all you dinosaurs did as well.
And did you guys know...............that if you finished any sentence, and then held down space bar before you submitted, that it actually counted towards your words per minute? I "cheated" and got like 200 wpm lol.
This was legitimately a life time ago. Good bye everyone.

I just googled this today because I remembered that sentence from grade school typing class on the Apple IIGs, and made me smile that I'm not alone! A girl is going right into a grass region!
