How fast can you text

kiwi_2005 · 08-24-10, 04:02 AM

I don't even own a cell phone i hate the things sons have them sitting there texting waiting for a reply then text back and repeat, quite sad really.

But fastest time is by Melissa Thompson, from Salford, Greater Manchester, texted the following sentence in a mere 25.94 seconds:

"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."

If you can beat her time your be in the Guinness Book of World Records!!!

I can text at a normal speed, nowhere near as fast as I can type though. Although I do kinda cheat in the fact that I tend to misspell an odd word here or there and my iphone automatically corrects it.

I also text quite frequently, but I'm always doing something else(whether it be watching tv, playing on my phone, or other stuff). The one thing I do like about my phone is the fact that it does remind me 5 minutes later that I have received a text, if I'm too busy doing something else to check when I first get the text.

Although reading the article, I don't know if this really counts as breaking the world record, as the phone is doing most of the work for you. Kinda like using T9.

I hate texting. Every time I text I get one part or another wrong, and end up calling the person to explain myself anyway.

Even sideways on my iPhone I have trouble. I'm more likely to "text" a picture or movie of the kids than actually type, lol. I've posted here from my phone, too

(this ain't one of those, I'm way faster really typing).
