Text Language

Text language is probably the most widely used language in America besides English. Yes, I have declared text and english to be two different languages. I remember when I was in middle school and AIM was starting to become really popular. Shortened words like brb, lol, and ttyl were common. However, now it is popular for middle schoolers to have cell phones and the language they are using is becoming very hard to understand sometimes! My sister is 12. She doesn't have a cell phone, but sometimes she'll steal one of my parents phones to text me and there have been several times I have had to ask her to spell it out because I didn't get it!

Not only is this "language" becoming more wide-spread in the mobile world, but there have been news reports about people using text abbreviations on their JOB APPLICATIONS!! Really people??? How can you seriously think this was a good idea?? I really don't understand how some people think. And the bad thing is that some of those people are actually going to get a job somewhere and here I sit jobless which also leaves me education-less. (No, I'm not bitter at all... haha)

So I found this website that is the largest list of text message shorthand and some of these are ridiculous! Here are a few samples:

1. 4NR   -   Foreigner
2. ?^     -  Hook up?
3. @TEOTD   -   At the end of the day
4. BFFTTE   -   Best friends forever until the end
5. BHOF   -   Bald headed old fart
6. CICYHW   -   Can I copy your homework?
7. DAMHIKT   -   Don't ask me how I know that
8. DUNA   -   Do not use acronyms
9. EMRTW   -   Evil monkeys rule the world!
10. NTTAWWT   -   Not that there's anything wrong with that
11. P2U4URAQTP   -   Peace to you for you are a cutie pie
12. PIMP   -   Peeing in my pants
13. RUMCYMHMD   -   Are you on medications cause you must have missed a dose


I mean, come on. Some of these are absolutely ridiculous! Who would actually use some of these??

Do you know of any more crazy ones? Any funny text stories or mix-ups?
