We already have the fastest car, the fastest time to pluck a turkey, fastest time to eat a 12" pizza, and fastest time to carve a pumpkin, so how can we not have a fastest text message record? Oh, my bad, we do!!

The record for the fastest text message blindfolded is 45.09 sec, achieved by Elliot Nicholls (New Zealand), at the Telecom shop on Filluel Street, in Dunedin, New Zealand, on 17 November 2007.
Fastest Text Message Blindfolded

I am not a text messaging person; in fact, my cell phone is an older model that has been discontinued. It doesn’t even have a camera! It is the original phone I received when I signed up for cell service about 7 years ago, a Nokia 3390.

When I see people text message, I am amazed at the speed that their fingers move from button to button and BAM! The 5 sentences are sent. Now granted, these sentences are not proper, but the speed in which the fingers move to accomplish this is simply amazing to me.

The other thing that amazes me with text messaging is the acronyms. On occasions, I have received text messages and I am usually dazed and confused by these letters bunched together. I have learned some of the basics like, idk (I don't know), lol (laugh out loud) imo or imho (in my opinion or honest opinion), but I would have to admit, many of these messages result in a phone call to the sender with the question of, "What did you say?"

Spelling is another thing that is lost in text messaging. The word "what" becomes "wut", the word "for" becomes "4", "because" becomes "coz" and "you" is replaced with "u". I have come to understand that text messaging is a whole new writing style.

Idk, this hole tm thing is so confusing 2 me.
