Dearest Members,
WERV U BIN? PPL R starting to use SMS abbreviations all the time, OTOH not
everyone understands what BCNU means. 2 SIT W/ SOM1 by MOB or email, SMS
abbreviations R GR8. :-)
In plain English:
(Yani, herkesin anlayacağı İngilizce ile)
Where have you been? People are starting to use SMS abbreviations all the time,
on the other hand not everyone understands what "be seeing you" means. To stay
in touch with someone by mobile or email SMS abbreviations are great.
(--
sample passage quoted from
http://www.askoxford.com )
As I'm sure you all know,
in the world of the mobile phone, SMS stands for
Short Message (or Messaging) Service
and is the name given to the system that enables mobile phone users to send and
receive text messages.
Abbreviations are used so that maximum use can be made of a limited
space. The increasing popularity of SMS stems from the fact that messages are
quick to write and can be a source
of entertainment to both the sender and the receiving
person.
It is to be noted
that the same kind of language is becoming quite standard in emails and
conversations in Internet chat rooms.
So, here is a humble collection of emoticons, acronyms and abbreviations
that might become handy in your e-mail messages, SMS and online chatting in
English -- but, whatever you do with them,
please do not use them in your correspondence with me, for I am too old to start
learning another "foreign" language...
