SMS Princess
Morgan Pozgar's thumbs whizz across the keypad so fast that it almost turns onlookers giddy. Her gaze is fixed on the words she is required to type into the mobile phone. The first reads: "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"-a made-up word from the musical Mary Poppins. The text carries on in a Similar vein. "Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious.
It would take most people quite a while just to read these lines out loud correctly, but Morgan types them into her Cellphone in 15 seconds flat- with no abbreviations, without a single mistake. And this is enough to secure the fast-fingered 13-year-old from Claysburg, Pennsylvania, a resounding win over her nearest opponent in a contest for the world's fastest sms-er. She gets quite enough practice: she apparently writes no fewer than 8,000 text messages a month.
