What other words do you know in text message style? Do you prefer writing in text message style or in full?
I learned about text message style today, it's pretty interesting to me and funny. :)
I don't have more text message style except for today's styles. (sad)
I prefered writing in full than in text message style so far.
hmm.. i think using text message style with strangers can cause misunderstanding.
I also think the sameee, I think that write with abbrevations is easlier and for example if u r @ an important event you can't write a big text. Sooo I prefer 2 write with abbrevations.
byeee,
XOXO
Hi Nicolas
I am agree whith your opinion on the use of abbreviations in chats,I think that is more useful for certaìn things,for example when you are in class and the teacher explains so fast that you do not have time to copy, and more examples.
Cu later.
I think the same as u. When U uses that style it takes less time 2 write messages and young people can communicate more easily. Many people look 4 ways 2 write in a shot way and thx to this, they already have it.
There isn´t a difficult 2 comunicate in this way, because if u write in this way u r going to b faster when you write: Instead of write ``I love you´´ you put this:<3 or ``thanks´´ you can put thx and is shorter than write the complete word
IK, is nice 2 know this type of writing its true that isnt difficult I <3 it
XOXOXO

I don't know text message style .I couldn't understand any word ,But I prefer text message style . It shorter than full style and quicker then usual .That is way I prefer text message.

I prefer writing this style, it's more easy.
I agree with you, I think this is more quickly to write all the words and I suppose that is easier for young people than old people.
gg = good game
Wp = Well Played
ez = easy
2ez4me = to easy for me
ty = thank you
Gamers' chat looks like that)

Finally, I've known the symbols in the message. I love this website
I knew 4ever apart from these.
When I chat my friends I prefer short words. It's easy. I am too lazy to write all the words so abbrevations are very useful.
