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.
hi petrichorr,
i also think the sameeee, 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 abberevations.
byeeee
XOXO
I think the same as u. When u use 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 short way and thx to this , they already have it.
4ever

easy
idk
i hate this writing style,but i will get used to it
Bcoz= Because
Coz=cause
B4=Before
W8= Wait
ASAP= As soon as possible
I prefer short form when I have conversation with my friends. It's easy to write and it can reduce time .
I like the screen picture of the chat!

Hi Ken i always like your comment! you are everywhere!

I know the new word. ex. ;) ( close 1 of your eyes).
I dont know more style words and I prefer these style words because It is very friendly.
I like text messages style. I usually use full, but sometimes I can text that style.
idk, xD
I know other words like gfs = girlfriends, or 0_0 = I'm serious, lol. Text message style is very common and it is usefully.
well, i prefer text full style, i think it's more easy (emh. I know it's strange).
For me this were hard.
I prefer this style because I use an informal comunication with my friends for chat.
Naw i Will use short Word in my chat
I know H8 no more and i prefer full text sytle
Is a little hard,because i don't use this style of comunication
There are many for example xq 100pre I do not like this style of message I like to be spelled correctly
1. What other words do you know in text message style?
Great= gr8
2. Do you prefer writing in text message style or in full?
I prefer text message style because it is faster but we have to remember it is not used in formal communication.
I know ILU= I love You. I don't like text message style, I prefer full style it's just better.
1. I don't know other words.
2. I prefer full text style, beacuse the formality.
I do not know in text message style.
I prefer text message full, because it is easier to understand.
I do not usually use short words in a chat, but when I use them, the ones I use most are u2, 4ever, in an English chat.
In a chat in Spanish, I abbreviated the short words, for example I put "q" instead of putting "que" and so, but only when I'm in a hurry.
It's cool!I haven't used them,but this style is easier & quicker
