Text messaging

Text messaging maybe wonderful for some people and really bothering for others. Some love it, some hate it. We maybe unsure whether the message really got to destination or whether it got lost somewhere in cyberspace.

We sometimes save text messages as precious treasures. Other times we immediately erase them since it's not worth giving them a second thought.

There are many who believe that language is completed distorted so using text messaging should not be favoured. They maintain that text messaging contributes to miscommunication. They may be right. However, I do love

keeping in touch through text messaging.

Here are some useful abbreviations for those users of any type of electronic

communication:
