The Use of Abbreviations in Text Messages
I want to do this! What’s This?
The trend of thumb-typing text messages onto a tiny cell phone screen has given rise to a whole new system
of abbreviations and altered grammar. Parents, teachers, and adults in general, do not approve it. Teachers complain
that students are using abbreviations in schoolwork, too. However, reality is there and many adults have come across
these abbreviations without having a clue as to their meaning. To many people, the SMS-speak is intuitively simple.
For others, though, learning and using the system can take some time. The following steps will help you to use and
understand text message abbreviations.
Step 1: Substitute single letters for words. The simplest abbreviations are the very obvious substitutions of
letters for words that have the same sound as the letter’s name. You can substitute “b” for the word “be”, “c” for
“see”, “n” for “in” and “y” for “why.” There are many other possible substitutions, so use your imagination to start
abbreviating SMS messages.
Step 2: Use numbers instead of words or letters. Text message senders found that numbers such as 8, 4 and
2 are excellent abbreviations for words and syllables. You can use the number 4 instead of “for” and the number 2 in
place of “to” or “too.” The number 8 can stand in for “ate” or as parts of words, as in “18” to mean “late.”
Step 3: Try some digital speak. A few basic abbreviations are used universally for electronic communications.
“Lol” is a common abbreviation that stands for “laughing out loud.” “Brb,” or “be right back,” is another frequently
used abbreviation. Check out some other general abbreviations that are used by the speakers of digital and Internet
languages.
Step 4: Look up or translate what you don’t know. Fortunately, there are a number of online resources to help
you fill in the blanks of what you don’t know. The SMS glossary at Environmental Studies is a good place to look up
text message terms.

Mammogram Magic
No question, the test saves lives. So why don’t more women go? Judith Mandelbaum
Schmid
FEW INTERVALS in a woman’s life are more unnerving than the ten minutes she spends
with her breasts squeezed between heavy plates of plastic, trying not to move or breathe. Imagining
what the high-tech equipment might reveal or fail to can be even worse.
Dignity and discomfort aside, mammograms do save lives. But too many women continue
to question the test’s reliability and safety.
Bottom line: breast cancer is highly curable, if caught early. But in order to be treated, it
must3 be detected. And while4 mammography doesn’t have a 100-percent accuracy rate, it still is
a woman’s best defense. (...)
