Texting with your Droid Bionic isn’t about proper English. However, many of the abbreviations and shortcuts used in texting are slowly becoming part of the English language, such as LOL and BRB.
The weird news is that these acronyms weren’t invented by teenagers. Sure, the kids use them, but the acronyms find their roots in the Internet chat rooms of yesteryear. Regardless of a shortcut’s source, you might find it handy for typing messages quickly. Or, maybe you can use this reference for deciphering an acronym’s meaning. You can type acronyms in either upper- or lowercase.
