text messaging world record

25 January, 2006 08:31

A 28 year old Singaporean business student has broke the world record for the fastest words in a text message within a givin period of time

He typed a screaming 26 words in 43.24 seconds. With correct punctuation and grammer, he chocked out "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human."

Unbelievable. I send out one, maybe two text messages a month, and ALL of them are pre-programmed. It takes me a good 5 minutes to create my 5 or 6 word macro, and another minute when I actually need to find it and send it through my phone's lousy menu system.

I also read somewhere that a british company is going to be sending complete literary publications through phone text using the leet phone talk language. I can see phone speak as a second language for kids of this generation.

When I hear wuz or cuz, I shivver and give dirty looks. When I see it on my phone, it breaks, and I go broke for a month.
