Southern texting............................from Rico

Up front I have to disclose that I do not text.

 

It's far too easy to be 'misconstrued' in person when speaking face-to-face, and easier yet to be 'taken the wrong way' when writing/e-mailing.

- Now truncate the process and magnify the opportunities for mis-communication with texting using abbreviations.

 

Multiple languages only increase the potential for confusion.

- If I texted CY (which is abbreviated Russian for "chlo yobut") how many would understand that I was saying WTF and not something else? 

 

Nope. No thankee.

 

That said, I am familiar with some of the .txt brevity codes which have made their way into modern parlance....say ROFLMAO and such (no, you do NOT want to know what I first thought that might refer to).

 

Here is a long-overdue "Southern texting" decoder ring for you, and it's pretty funny IDCWYA (I don't care who yaw'l are).
