Texting? You should know these 20 text abbreviations.
Texting!
More people use text messaging to communicate then ever before. You can�t go anywhere (a bus, a restaurant, a meeting�anywhere) without seeing someone staring down at their phone frantically two-thumb typing away.
In order to save on typing out every single word, a new shorthand language has developed. There are single letters, number and symbols (b=be, 2=to, @=at). You can use by themselves, in combination with other letters (called logograms like, b4=before, 2day=today) or you can use pictograms ( :-)=smile, ;-)=wink, :-@=scream) to represent words.
There are thousands of these new text abbreviations being used and created every single day. Here are 20 to get you started:
^5 � High Five
YSK � You Should Know
YBS � You�ll Be Sorry
WOTAM � Waste Of Time And Money
WOG � Wise Old Guy
TY - Thank You
TISC � This Is So Cool
TISL � This Is So Lame
TAW � Teachers Are Watching
RUNTS � Are You Nuts?
OTOH � On The Other Hand
I 1-D-R � I Wonder
FOMCL � Falling Off My Chair Laughing
DUNA � Don�t Use No Acronyms
