All should do the same words. What is the a one using all the letters?

The quick brown fox jumped over the moon (not quite)

Hendrik,

It's "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"...

thanks, I knew something was wrong, way too many o's. (Something else jumped over the moon )

How long did it take you? (Keyboard and SMS)

Hendrik,

I believe that it was the cow that jumped over the moon (a la hey diddle diddle).

But I was mistaken - the fox jumps (not jumped) over the dog... otherwise, there would be no "s" in the sentence, thereby disqualifying it as a pangram...

My results:

Keyboard: 9.6 sec.

SMS (blackberry): 14.9 sec.

(I'm pretty slow!)

I wonder how I'd do in Morse and semaphore - I recall learning them both many years ago, when I was in the boy scouts, but that was a looong time ago...

Let me see how long it takes me to type that:

teh suilckj vbroiuns nfox jjunp sovert the lany dog.

A couple seconds.

About a year ago, a 90 year OM using cw beat up on a 14 year old girl using IM on late night tv (David Letterman or Jay Leno, I forget which one).

The story received international attention at the time and for the next 15 minutes, the old guy was famous. Don't know what happened to the girl. Probably bought a new phone!

Maybe she learned Morse code. I can copy 20 words per minute with the right frame of mind and on a good day... but those are few and far between.
