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.
Now, I´ll
let you know some different abbreviations so you can better understand conversations and also learning and practice them using abbs .

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.
