Text Abbreviations

Text abbreviations are shortened versions of words to compose a message without exceeding character limits. They make text message communication faster and easier. While only a small demographic used text acronyms a decade ago, everyone in the world now actively uses them.

As texting became more popular, abbreviations followed suit. While they were developing, SMS had already proved to be a fast and convenient communication channel. As a result, abbreviations and acronyms complemented instant messaging.

Although SMS is one of the best communication channels, it always had one major drawback. Each text message is limited to only 160 characters. If exceeded, the text is sent as two messages and charged additionally. Text acronyms solve this problem by cutting down characters and giving room for more words.

Another common issue with SMS is text message delay. Sometimes, SMS messages can take longer than expected to be delivered. This can be caused by a number of factors, including network congestion, technical issues, or even weather conditions.

The tendency of using the shorter forms of words, phrases, or sentences evolved from text messages to social media platforms. While these apps have no character limit, text message abbreviations still remain popular. They save time and make typing on smaller keyboards a comfortable process.

Aside from helping people, acronyms for texts also help businesses in their text message marketing campaigns. Each SMS comes at a cost—albeit affordable—and they can use abbreviations to save money. Why type a full phrase when you can use common abbreviations in your business texts? In our humble opinion, it's much better to send internet acronyms, slang, or any other texting shortcuts in one message than send two separate messages to the customer.

When it comes to sending multimedia messages on your phone, you have two options: SMS vs. MMS. If you're sending via MMS, you may as well stick to memes and GIF lingo.

Abbreviations are closely related to concatenated SMS, which allows longer messages to be split into multiple segments and reassembled on the recipient's device, enabling the transmission of abbreviated text messages without sacrificing the overall message content.

Common Text Acronyms

The number of text abbreviations grows every day as language is constantly evolving. Most of the time, their meanings are clear from the start. Common examples include SMH (shaking my head), ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing), TYT (take your time), TBH (to be honest), ICYMI (in case you missed it), and more.
