Which abbreviaions do you use?

[Sofie]

Hello, we are students from a Belgium school. We have to make a english work. Our subject is; Which abbreviations do teenagers use in the written languages (blog, chat, twitter)? Can you give use some examples?

Thanks xx

I think the answer would be acronyms.
Example:
brb=be right back
lol=laugh out loud
ily=I love you

Abbreviations? Are you talking about things like USA or are talking about text slang, like thnx, u, or do you want something more like BRB ( be right back), or TGIF ( thank god it's Friday)?

Hi,

In the English written language or in America anyway, teenagers use blog, chat, twitter, and Facebook.
I do know that they officially included "texting" as a new verb to the dictionary because texting has become a prominent way to communicate.

Check out this site. There is a huge list of abbreviations: http://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/textm...ations.asp

Some abbreviations people use include:
lol: laugh out loud
ttyl: talk to you later
thnx: thanks
lmfao: laugh my f***ing ass off
ftw: f*** the world
