Also, that program counts the number of words it fed you rather than some standardised number based on 'x' number of letters in an average word -- the score after 107 was 105, even though I had more characters per second on that try.
I imagine that the normal "words per second" assumes a certain number of letters per word, rather than letting you score higher if there happen to many short words in the random assortment it gives you, so their score is probably only roughly comparable to standardised ones.
Yes. IIRC, for typing tests and the like, the standard "word" is five letters (plus a space). So most typing tests will work out to C = 6W if you include the spaces.

107's pretty darn good!

(Well, the second time - the very first time I hadn't quite understood how the page-switching works.)
The 107 was when I tried to type as fast as I possibly could just to see what I could get away with.

Still, since I never fell that I am too slow, that is all right probably.
