In order to keep this blog relevant to texting abbreviations, the only way to communicate, at least initially, will be through this and other comments boxes. Please feel free to suggest other texting abbreviations which are not on this site. Note: I will publish virtually any comments and links as long as they are pg-rated or better. Thanks in advance
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I saved it as a favorite and will use your list as a guide. Thanks. Harry
ReplyDeleteHi Mac! Larry and Jane are going away for the weekend and I need to know if you are going to join them? Couln't text you, so I posted to you here. Felix

ReplyDeleteI'm gonna test the way links work here.

I'm gonna expand this comment template so people can use it as a forum, because altering posts won't do this blog good. I won't hide the comments because people won't see them. I will have to add more sidebar items, even many ads just to cover it. But it should be worth it to get people to interact on texting basics.
ReplyDeleteJust added a few new ones in the c section. The acronyms keep accumulating so keep checking back for updates. Save as a favorite to keep up with the lastest lingo.
ReplyDeleteJust added a twitter rss feed for texting which keeps you up to date on what is being discussed about texting or sms messaging.
ReplyDeleteThe one I've used alot is xoxoxo (hugs and kisses). I even used them in love letters back in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteNelson

ReplyDeleteI noticed there are two What Are You Doing acronyms. WAYD and WRUD. By the way, check out my new website over at Free Music Downloads.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy writing and good entertainment. Texting is my next favorite thing to do.

I'm updating the dates of the posts as I add new texting abbreviations. Due to the nature of this blog, it is my only option. Any new posts will be pre-dated so as to keep the content relevant to what viewers are looking for. I hope the people at blogger and google recognize this. Also, I have another blog being questioned as spam because it addresses how to make money. The topic isn't spam, but I admit, there are alot of spammers out there with similiar blog names abusing Blogger.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for that "texting while driving" post, as we need our kids to be extremely careful when driving. I encourage everybody to read that post you made in August and to copy and foreward it to all of their friends. And this is a neato blog Mac.
ReplyDeleteSandy Denison - Sorry, I don't have a blogger account as of yet.
Yes Sandy. I almost lost a cousin because she was texting and driving at the same time and she wrapped her car around a telephone pole. I just hope more people get the word out about the dangers of texting and driving. Mac

ReplyDeleteThese Chinese who are bloodier, dirtier, more depraved than the Japanese military during the rape of Nanking in World War II have stepped over their countless innocent victims. Don’to be fooled because China is extremely low class: they are not human. Using technology China has infiltrated all places in this world utilizing inhumane methods to terrorize innocent laborers and establishing a stable of their demons (politicians, reporters) who slaughter throughout the free world.
ReplyDelete災難國難,小心中國讀心侵腦的恐怖暴行活動
讀心侵腦,現代的中國人你要小心他們沒人性的一面
希特勒變英雄-小心中國變了共產黨變了的大謊言
小心中國恐怖地控制你情緒、思想、行為不要因為不知道很簡單就被中國給陷害了
人類浩劫,讀心侵腦崛起極下賤殘暴的中國,被政府、電視媒體(例如tvbs)睜眼說瞎話、漠視的中國大暴行,侵腦極殘暴中國豬大規模侵略世界對可能數億手無寸鐵平民施工、恐怖活動、顛覆、極暴力濫虐、大屠殺、在自由世界養妖魔鬼怪(政客記者
您正經歷人類重大災難的轉捩點,希望您有勇氣為下一代選擇正義。
