Newly Crowned US Texting Champion!
In: Good Stuff
24 Jun 2009
A 15 year old named Kate Moore took home the $50,000 1st place prize in the 2009 LG US Texting Championship. Evidently it’s normal for her to pump out almost 500 text messages a day!
“In the final showdown, she outtexted 14-year-old Morgan Dynda, of Savannah, Ga. Both girls had to text three lengthy phrases without making any mistakes on the required abbreviations, capitalization or punctuation. Moore squeaked through by a few seconds on the tiebreaking text, getting the best two out of three. As she anxiously waited for confirmation of her win, tears streamed down her face”
