Did you know that using abbreviations when texting is another effective way to convey your message? Yes, that is in fact very true. And this has been proven many times now. Therefore, there is no need for you to question this style of texting any longer, be it in German or English or whatever language you choose to text.

So, whenever your thumbs are tired from texting and scrolling or you are just feeling lazy to type out an entire message, use texting abbreviations. This manner of texting is simple, easy, and very convenient. And a lot of people use texting abbreviations, anyway. Even that principal that reminds you of Miss Trunchbull from elementary school that you never liked probably texts using abbreviations..
