24 April 2007 by axxxr
This past weekend 13-year-old Morgan Pozgar was crowned the LG National Texting Champion.

Thirteen-year-old Morgan Pozgar, of Claysburg, Pennsylvania, was crowned LG National Texting champion on Saturday after she typed "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from "Mary Poppins" in 15 seconds.

Morgan defeated nearly 200 other competitors at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan to become East Coast champion and then beat West Coast champion Eli Tirosh, 21, of Los Angeles, California.

She estimated that she sends more than 8,000 text messages a month to her friends and family. source:CNN

SHe seems like a good kid, at least she has got her typing skills. In life today, just about everything we do involves a keyboard. Good for her, I am sure it took some practice...

Wow, the people of LG would not think of that? Guess there really is no brains out there! But then again as if your spelling of whas and chould did not prove the point...As if...

Kudos to the chick. Maybe T can get some spelling lessons from her...
