New York teen wins LG Texting Championship
Share:
Brianna won the competition against an initial pool of 500,000 contestants, competing in events such as Text Attack, Blind Texting, Text Blitz and Do U Spk Txt. All the contestants used LG Ally devices, copying phrases and sentences as they appeared on the screens over head.
New for 2010, the competition also included a category for parents and caregivers, who won their trip to the New York competition by playing online qualifiers at LG's Championship Facebook page. The category was added in response to survey findings that 41% of parents feel that texting makes them more connected to their teens.
In the end, Brianna won by typing the following phrase in only 60 seconds: "Old McDonald had a farm, Ei, ei, oh! And on this farm he had a champ. W/a txtr here, and BFF there. Here a text, there a text, erywhere a text-text!" How fast can you do it?

Last sentence "everywhere" is typed incorrectly. And it isn't text type slang either. Apparently the 13 year old can spell the phrase correctly but phone arena editors can't?

Are you a moron? It's a song you might know as "Old Mcdonald Had A Farm". How uneducated can you possibly be?

I think "everywhere" was mis spelled on purpose, when you text generally you leave out characters so erywhere would be a condensed verison of the word

she should have won an award for being able to complete the text without the phone randomly power cycling mid message. LG's trademark in the cellphone industry.
