Texting Made Easy

Text-messaging short-hand becomes increasingly widespread in emails, text messages etc. It's ambiguous and becoming rigueur. The decoding of this kind of text is little tuff to an individual, Mastering the lingo can help texting very easy. There are many jargon's used to communicate the text between friends. For example if it takes more to learn stuff, the code word used is WOMBAT ("Waste of money, brains and time"). There is a lot of confusion in English translation resources. The term WRUD (“What are you doing?") and TTYL ("Talk to you later") has become texting terms for millions of users.

Few dictionaries like Merriam-Webster have recognized the texting in short hand and added these sources in their editions. The AP style book also includes few words in their dictionary like IMO ("In my opinion"), ROFL (Rolling on the floor laughing"), and BFF (“Best friends forever"). People commonly use LOL (“Laugh at loud"), and OMG ("Oh my god") which is now included in M-W dictionary. These abbreviations are becoming the part of our language now-a-days. Few texts are discovered because it involves in such activities that their parents should not take a note of them POS (“Parent over shoulder"), LMIRL (“Let’s meet in real life”).
