Text messages take me forever - I have to spell and punctuate everything perfectly. Not acronyms, but used regularly in our house - RTFM (read the f***ing manual) and JFDI (just f***ing do it).

I can also link, via bluetooth, the Mac leyboard to my phone, so the same applies.

Hi

Spent too much time reading all the TLAs (Three letter abbreviations). Anything more that a TLA is too much!

However, complaints about Txt speak need to just remember that part of this was that it originally cost per letter/word, just as telegrams did. For younger viewers, I recommend reading any Jeeves & Wooster book to learn about the do's and don'ts of letter reductions!
