85 with a bunch of mistakes. I tend to read ahead and try to predict what's next on the end of lines, and most of the time get it wrong. I was also off by a word for a whole sentence so it penalized me for that.

You typed: A right is not what someone gives you; its what no one can take from you. The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues. all you have to do is take a close look ar yourself and you will understand everyone else. The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at eeven-thiery in the morning feeling just terrible. Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance? The sounds of the nouns are mostly unbound. Hack for the user's benefit. It is much easier to sugge

Mistakes: its(it's), all(All), ar(at), eeven-thiery(seven-thirty)

Well done!
