'CU L8TR = See you later'
English changes with each new generation; new words appear and some words become old fashioned. The English we use today is very different from the English of Shakespeare’s times. Modern Technology has a lot to do with it. It has made us less patient; who has time to write 'lots of love', when 'LOLO' will do. Love it or hate it, SMS English (Text English) is hard to avoid and often extremely cryptic. Here’s a short A to Z of what you can expect from SMS English. CU L8TR (see you later)!
