better, but still problematic

    Klavaro is still rude, but less so.

    "I need you to be more accurate" is a very demanding way of requesting improvement. There are many other examples.

    Also, the program makes nonsense demands:

    "Words per minute: 61.6 Goal: 50

    Comments:
    You type accurately but not so fast.
    Can you reach 50 WPM?"

    .. Yes? .. I can reach 61.6 WPM. Like I *just did* you dumb program.

    If it is going to phrase such questions, perhaps it should take note that I had 85 WPM not two lessons ago, before I decided to go so so so slow to account for interface problems, grammar errors, and strange spacing.

    The user interface still needs a good deal of work.
    Typing across words that already exist is not natural. When typing free text words, I think there should not be a cursor displayed, or there should be a line of text being entered under the guide text, so that it is visually traditional where the next input must be entered.

    A failure to enter a space across a linebreak is not displayed in any way.

    Carriage return at linebreaks should be accepted.

    Monospaced text is correctly double-spaced after a full stop/period. Either the text should not be monospaced, or the program should accept doubled spaces at the end of sentences, or the text should be adjusted to contain such doubled spaces.

    When an entire sentence is typed correctly, with a miscapitalization at the start, this should not be counted as an error. The correct characters are not errors. In fact the example texts contain many errors, such as incorrect capitalization of AIDS, which results in much vexation.
