Textual versatility

According to an AP report, a Singapore student, Kimberly Yeo, 23, managed to type a complicated 26-word message on her phone in 43.66 seconds. This beats the existing text message record of 67 seconds, set last year by Briton James Trusler in Sydney, Australia. Contestants had to type: ‘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.’ Using predictive text was not allowed, and the punctuation needed to be spot on, too.”
