A 13-year-old schoolgirl has been declared the US' national texting champion in New York.
Morgan Pozgar emerged as the eventual winner of a tournament designed to find the person with the fastest fingers in the west – on their mobiles, that is.
She was forced to vanquish West Coast champion Eli Tirosh, 21, in order to claim the texting crown, successfully typing in two lines from the Mary Poppins song Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious without making a single typo before her rival.
"I just got beaten by a teenage girl, but you know," a disappointed Tirosh told the AFP news agency after his defeat, as Pozgar began plotting shopping trips in New York City.
Whether she has time to actually look at items between sending out her average of 8,000 text messages a day remains to be seen.
She may well be too busy texting all her friends to tell her the good news.
