Everyone has been affected by texting in some way. You have either texted someone, read a text, heard someone use "Text Talk" or seen a commercial about texting. In this week's blog, think about texting you have seen or heard. What is your favorite "text phrase"? For example, mine is "lol" because it really describes what you are doing. I think it is much better than "ha ha" which is what many people used to write to describe the same thing. When I see "lol" I can really picture the person with their head thrown back, mouth open and "laughing out loud"! If you've made up a "text phrase" and would like to share it you may do so. You can also write your blog response in "text talk". Just make sure to follow the directions as far as length and computer etiquette.
My favorite text phrase is "lol" too. I like "lol" because I like how "lol" looks. Also I like how it sounds if it was an actual word. Whenever I get a text saying "lol" it makes me laugh because the person who sent it is laughing. Sometimes I don't even do it in text I actually say it out loud when people make me laugh. When I do that it makes them laugh too. I don't know who tought me the catch phrase "lol". I can't remember.

My favorite text phrase is asap and it means as soon as posible.I really dont why its just what my mom use to text me when ever she would be late to pick me up from school.I also like because in stead of texting as soon as posible when you can just say in a shorter way.Its also my favorite my favorite because you can use if you are late (because i usally am).I know that there are other kind of phrases but this is my favorite 1.

My favorite text phrase is gtg (got to go) or lol (laugh out laugh). Some thing funny about lol is someone texted my grand ma lol and she thought it meant lots of love. My other fave text word is brb (be right back). I really like idk (I don't know). One I made up is idc (I don't care). Another one I made up is nmu (not much you). I love to text.

My favorite phrase would be "ttyl", which means talk to you later. I like this because I think it saves the most time for writing out the word. I also like w/ which means with. I like it because it is a letter and a symbol which is cool, but also it saves you time. Text phrases are and can be fun and catchy, ad it saves you some time in your life! :) Austin
ReplyDeleteMy favorite text phrase would be ''lol''. I like ''lol'' because I like to say it a lot and it always makes me laugh because people say it and they don't actually laugh out loud. I also like it because some people instead of laughing they just say it put loud at something funny. But i really like it because it is easy to remember and a cute shortcut for typing laugh out loud.

I have a couple of favorite text phrases. My first favorite "r" because it is a good abbreviation for "are". In fact, I use it so much when I text my friends that I almost use it in writing in class. My second favorite phrase is "u". It is such a great abbreviation, an I use it a lot when I text my friends. This is another abbreviation that I almost use when I write in class. My last, but not least, favorite text phrase is "lol". It is a phrase that you do not use in a sarcastic way, which is why I like it.

My favorite text phrase is "LMK" which means let me know. The reason why "LMK" is my favorite text phrase is because you can type that and they will give you the information that you were asking. Instead of typing of typing let me know you can type "LMK". I don't realy use "LMK" a lot when I text people, but I think it just saves time. Also I think it is more useful then "LOL" because "LMK" you are asking for like information. In "LOL" you are stating the fact that you are laughing.

My favorite text phrase is "LOL". I love that because it is a funny one. Like we someone text or says something funny you would lol. Like people say that now and days. When iI am around people say LOL a lot. GRIFFIN
ReplyDeleteMy favorite text phrase is "TMI". My favorite text phrase is "TMI" because it is much easier than writing the whole word "To much information". If I could make up a text phrase it would be "IAA". I would make up "IAA" because it means "I am AWESOME" LOL! That is what my favorite phrase is and my text phrase that I made up!

ReplyDeleteI use very few shortcuts. I barely text because you can't facetime or hear them talk. I use these shortcuts sorry-sry you-u are-r. I really don't use a lot because i never ever say it. I hate using symbols I usually don't know what they are even saying.
My favorite text phrase is "LOL" because i can picture it happening. And its so much easier to say than hahahahahaha and some people like to type that really long. I also think its funny to think about someone saying it like really girlly like. Also instead of saying L-O-L like spelling it i say lol but not spelling it. And last i Think its funny when people say it alot in one sentance kind of like when people say like alot in a sentance.

My favorite text phrase is ttyl. (talk to you later) It is much easier than saying " sorry have to go talk to you later". All you have to say is "got to go ttyl." If I could make up a text phrase it would be HWU. (hey whats up) It would save more time than saying " Hey what's up" every time. Another reason I would make up HWU would be that everybody would start saying it how it is spelled not the actual letters and it would sound really funny.

My favorite text phrase is ttyl because it is easier than saying talk to you later. I also like LOL because it is easier than saying hahaha or laughing out loud. If I could make up my own text phrase it would be WYD. WYD means what you doing. That is my favorite text phrase and my own text phrase that I made.
ReplyDeleteLexi:)
TYYL is my favorite text prase. It is my favorite, because you don't waste your time typing talk to you later. Another reason I like this is that the person you text is aware you don't want to talk anymore. I also like to make up my own like bbt,syl that stands for be back tommarrow see you later. Well tyyl and bbt, syl.

i really do not text at all and have almost nothing to do with texting, because i do not even have a phone! the only way i have anything to do with texting is occasionally reading one to my mom when she forgets her glasses. i have never texted before and i do not know what it is like. but a text phrase that i <3 is tgif! because that is how i always feel when it is friday, but i think that everybody feels that way! and i <3 fridays! i think that texting is not important in our lives because i really do not wan tto text because whenever somebody starts, they can not stop and then they start to go crazy!!! a text phrase that i just made up is: bsgscfm!(cptantf!!!) and it stands for: buy some girl scout cookies from me!(c'mon people they are not that fattening!!!) LOL!!!!! heheheheh.

I do not have a cellphone. So I do not text. But my favorite text phase is LOL. The reason why is because I only know two text phases they are TMI and LOL. (There's not a lot of options for me.) I think its fun making up ones and trying to guess what they mean.HLOF, Can you guess what this means?

I don't have a cellphone, but I use the same kind of thing on Facebook. My favorite phrase would have to be "gtg" because it's easier than having to spell it out. ( And getting out of talking to someone annoying. JK.) Another one of my favorites is the one I just used, JK. It stands for Just kidding. I like because if someone's trying to be funny, and your not sure if they're serious or not they type "JK." I just think it's really annoying when people actually talk like they're texting. For example, a lot of teenage girls do that. "And I was like, OMG! Like, LOL."

My favorite phrase is lol because its funnt. But I do not like when girls are always in class texting or hanging out because it is very annoying. I do have a phone but i dont always text. I thinks its annoying because when someone needs to talk to you all your doing is texting. I also like gtg, ttyl, and tmi. I like texting but I dont always text.
ReplyDeleteKatlin
My favorite phrase is lol. I like it because it is a word that says "laugh out loud". Also, I like brb because, it is a word just like lol but,it says "be right back." Even thought I don't use it alot, it is good for comparing long words into short words.If I had to make one up, it would be CYBL, it stands for "Call You Back Later."

My favorite phrase is lol because it mean those people that you are talking to thinks what you just said was funny.But a close second is brb. Because if your mom calls you to make your bed and someone is talking to you. The palit way is to say please don't text my back until i get back is brb. So i like those sayings because they are nice to say in a text.
