Text Messages ( abbreviations)

Hey You!

What´s up?


Nowadays people  surely love to exchange messages and they definitely like texting each other more than having a conversation or a phone call. 
People all around the world download messengers or apps to their cellphones, tablets, i-phones,laptops  and this is really a fever. We know some peripheral  applications such as: what´s app, chat on, kakao talk, e-penpal, hangouts, facebook, skype and chat rooms  from websites, for example. And we do know how they are important for communication,right? Many students don´t know that we also have a different way to write the words or sentences when using English, as we already have the “internetês” in Portuguese. This is not easy at the beggining but with time, everything will be clear.

  1. THX for your information! How have in your description is really important to know these abbreviations, because English is everywhere. And as in Portuguese, on the Internet, it's common to use abbreviations, so it's better to know than to stop talking with a friend who speaks English because we don't understand anything. In my opinion, it's interesting to see how some abbreviations change, for example, in Portuguese, sometimes we write pvt and means ''pivete'' and in English already has a totally different translation, so you better pay attention to what shortens when write.
