Text Test

I am not a big time phone texter - I rarely use text shorthand. Here's a bit of text shorthand. Can you decipher any of them?

BRB, BCNU, DBEYR, FWIW, ISO, JK, MHOTY, RBTL, RTM, TYVM, WYWH

I will post the answer in the comments. Let me know how many you knew.

    I am afraid I don't textspeak either. I had never texted and never intended to text until my wonderful daughter bought me one of those fancy phones and chose to pay for the plan which includes unlimited texting. so now if and when I do text it is all the word spelled out all the way.

    As a former English teacher, I work exceptionally hard to avoid the use of these "textisms," which only seem to lower the English skills competence of the user.

    IMHO...In My Humble Opinion.

    BTW, (haha) I don't textsqueak,but I occasionally use Instant Messenger to chat with a friend who does. Sometimes it's like learning a foreign language!
