    I'm intrigued by 'YESP'. If 'Mom' is using a qwerty keyboard, 'p' is nowhere near either 's' or 'enter'. If she is using an abc/def … keypad, then 'p' and 's' is a plausible mistake.

    Of course, with the increasing popularity of Swype-style keyboards, two-finger (or thumb) entry is again probably on the decline.

    I'm intrigued by the combination of "ever" and "still."

    Indeed, one finger dragged through enough letters to get the predictive type to bring up the full word is much faster for me than a full keyboard was two phones ago.

    After writing my first comment, I realised that *I* type one-fingered on my mobile phone.

    I think the P key on an iOS keyboard is pretty close to the Send button, so that may explain the final P.

    I don't recall ever using only one finger on a non-smartphone, but it's the norm if your phone has Swype… so, really, Jeremy finds one-finger typing surprising only because he still has to use a twelve-button number keypad to text.
