Poll: Talking like an English machinegun.

[El Poncho]

I don't know, all I know is I mumble so no one can understand me anyway(and I feel like a dick when I try to open my mouth to talk)

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

I can talk really fast. REALLY. I train to annoy people.

Plus it's my first language.

 

[Halceon]

Words per minute is a crap metric. You should use syllables per minute. 'Yes' is a word, as is 'discombobulated', hardly comparable.

 

[Tiny116]

Not only am I English I'm Bristolian and we're notorious for speaking WAY to fast.

 

[sokka14]

i can talk right up to 120 wpm, and i'd go higher but i've been electronically limited.

 

[funguy2121]

I can type 90 wpm, so I imagine my speech is much faster.

 

[gRiM_rEaPeRsco]

I'm scottish so its hard to tell since all our words just merge together into one big incomprehensible drone

 

[Lukeje]

Damn it; I thought this was going to be an Al Murray appreciation thread...

...anyway, I can't talk very fast without tripping over my words.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

What I'm asking is: How fast can you talk in English?

Your target:

...damn.

 

[ace_of_something]

I'm not sure why but I think it would be "I speak X words per minute" not "I Talk x words per minute" something about that doesn't sound right.

Anyway OT: I've never really counted. I don't have the means to do your scientific method right now so I'm going to go with 60 wpm in all likelyhood.

I sacrificed the chance of becoming multi-lingual so that I could pursue the English language.
I'm (arguably) adept in it but I think it's time I spanned the horizons, maybe I should learn American...

 

[murphy7801]

I used to work at a call centre the speed I can talk at is to fast for most people.

 

[Knight of Cydonia]

I can't honestly be bothered to time it because I'm lazy. People say I talk fast so....how about I just say "quite fast"?

 

[RanD00M]

I'm fairly certain that i can speak fast in English.Certainly faster then in Icelandic.

 

[Kaboose the Moose]

Quite fast I would imaging. It's my first language but I don't know how fast I talk, how do you even find that out?.

That sounds like an utter chore and all my friends will leave me if I ask them to time my words...but for the sake of contributing something to the OP, I shall say 100 words a minute; because a 100 is a nice round number.

I love your avatar... a lot.

Thanks, I think the gif really captures Clarkson's state of mind. The madness is quite obvious in several of the frames.
