Okay, I need to admit something as a blogger and texter: I can’t speak Textese. I know some basic abbreviations, but with a mother who was a teacher and having studied journalism, that kind of thing has simply never really absorbed into my vocabulary.
I sat at the computer screen when I was on gmail chat just two weeks ago wondering why Dr.Jones kept typing ‘brb.’ Does she need to burp but can’t type it? Is there a fascinating blurb of a book she wants to tell me about?
I ended up googling the answer.
My friends will contest that my text messages come complete with full spelling and punctuation, I find it impossible to get the hang of txt speak.
So, in an attempt to become enlightened, here is what I know but I am reaching out to you to help Lady Melbourne get with the sartorial times!
WTF: What the f*ck
OMG: Oh my god
LOL: Laugh out loud
BRB: Be right back
SRSLY: Seriously
HLP: Help
BTW: By the way
ATM: At the moment.
