Direction: Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow
Imagine if you are driving on the road with a cup of coffee in one hand, the steering wheel on the other, then your cell rings or vibrates or flashes or whatever. You cannot pick up the call because your mouth is also full of a morning egg sandwich freshly and roughly made a few minutes B4 you got into your car CUZ you were SOT.
The call is important. And you need to communicate. What would you do?
One of the most popular ways to communicate today is by texting. But in a world where everybody is in such a hurry, how much time do you really have to type?
Let me give you an assisting tool now, so that you can start using it 2mrw.
It is called chat abbreviations. They’ll save you time and space when you text or chat. You can say something like as soon as possible in just a second by typing (or saying) ASAP, or replacing Keep in touch by KIT, Know what I mean by KWIM, For your information by FYI, Short of time by SOT, Laugh out loud by LOL, In my opinion by IMO, etc.
Now that you have learned some abbreviations, try using them with UR friends FYA, and if you want to say THX, I say UW.
