The English Language coming as a TEXT near you.
This text is ABT the new English Language. You are ABT2 ACK and ACPT it ASAP B4 U-L be TTLY SRY if you DNT.
It was not an ACDNT.
AMOF, ATM kids tend to CR8 new words W/O RX for Grammar. It is a trend since the invention of texting. A sentence with a Subject, a Verb, and an Agreement will LLF CUZ PEEPS PROLLY HV RX for formal language in dispute ABT POV.
PPL H8 to send an MSG or a PM ONL, IMO because of the fear of being taken for an uneducated person. It SUX.
FYA and also FYI SC CUZ most of the words can be D/L. You may need your EMA, maybe ADDY, and be aware of the FAQ FYEO. U-L WIP in a WKD W/O WRK hard and HF.
I DNT LUV HAK except my GF. HAU?
B4 COVID I enjoyed H&K on my BDAY.
ZUP? TY 4 BYOB. BTW, we are BFF AKA BF4L. Said friend Number 1.
“TY. I am SRY, SS! “I ACPTD to ZZZZ W/ WR BOYF.” The SK8RB said girl number 2.
“WAM.” this is TMTH. IUSS, it is FBM. I have to get B2W”.
“W/8!!! IBH. OJ!!! Today is AF. “JK”, ILY. I have my own SO.
“IK. but please, MYOB. TMB. TTFN.
Darn! It is UFB. My Gym closed UFN. I FW my application.
“RUOK?”
“Sure, I am ROFLOL”
I got hired! QL!! SOAB. YBS. I am going to sue.
PLZ, I am not the creator of these words or acronyms. I found them while checking online.

Texting Slang Symbols and Emojis
Texting slang goes beyond abbreviations and acronyms to include symbols and images too. It’s important to know that some images have secret meanings beyond their appearance.
Slang Use of Emojis
Emojis have taken texting slang to a whole new level. An image of a simple object doesn’t always mean what you first think it might.
avocado = basic or doing whatever’s trendy at the moment
frog = ugly
goat = the G.O.A.T, greatest of all time
octopus = cuddles
peach (the fruit) = a butt or the word “but”
snake = backstabber
Simple Texting Symbols
If you don’t have the use of emojis or don’t want to use them, you can use common keyboard keys to create emotive symbols.
:) - Smiley face / happy
=) - Happy
:-) - Happy
:( - Sad
=( - Sad
:' ) - Happy Tears
:-* - Kiss
:-D - Laughing
