I almost got it wrong too, because my brain kept wanting to click 'A' instead of 'letter A'

It reminds me of a typing test that the HR test facilitator lined up incorrectly, causing my test to have a 99% error rate, fortunately they were so incompetent that they recorded a 99% success rate.

I just nodded sagely when they complemented me on my typing skills.

Wait, how does that work? Aren't there marked keys?

For a typing test to work, the text (in a paper book) and the computer need to be "on the same page" as it were.

Oh haha, im old enough that the test involved a covered typewriter (so no backspacing). It's not like I ever used a typewriter in any other situation, but the test was done on one.
