Abbreviations used by foreigners to send text messages

There is a new upsurge in mobile phones around the world! Because SMS is fast, cheap, and interesting, it has become as popular as phone calls. Here are some suggestions for using SMS or Short Message Service to send and receive text messages in English.

Send me a text message!

Some Spelling systems in English are very complicated and it takes a long time to spell out a word. Therefore, many people start to abbreviations these words. This saves time, but if people are not familiar with the current fashion orientation, it may also make people confused. In addition, you must master text message English first.

SMS slang can be divided into two types: first letter or abbreviation.

Abbreviations

The first letter is composed of the first letters of several words (for example, UN is United Nations ). In text messages, the first letter is a common phrase. In addition, separate letters may replace words that sound similar. Let's look at these examples:

OIC-Oh I see.

BRB-Be right back...

BFN-Bye for now

LOL-Laughing out loud

ASAP-As soon as possible

BTW-By the way...

FYI-For your information...

JK-Just kidding

TTYL-Talk to you later

Abbreviations

The abbreviation of SMS is different from the abbreviation of General "don't" or "they", but the intention is the same: Remove unnecessary parts while keeping the meaning clear. Vowels are often removed, but can still tell the General pronunciation of words. The number 8 sometimes represents the eight sound, so later becomes l8r. Number 4 is also commonly used to replace for, just as 2 replaces. See the abbreviations of these SMS:

Plz-Please

Thx-Thanks

Cya-See you

L8r-Later

K-OK

U-You

R-Are

B4-Before

2 morro-Tomorrow

Obviously, writing in this way may become complicated. You should master English before trying to abbreviations text messages. If you use too many abbreviations, your SMS will make readers confused or appear unprofessional in front of customers.

Can you keep a secret?

SMS is certainly very convenient, but it should only be used for casual conversations and you must remember the objects you send text messages. You shouldn't have sent a text message to your boss! In addition, text messages can be easily stored, retrieved, or even mistakenly sent to others-if you are not careful, you may be in an awkward situation! If you want to send a very private text message next time, remember to think carefully before you press "send". Otherwise, you can send the text message sent to your lover to your boss's mobile phone!
