Hiya guys…

I guess we’ve reached an age where shorthand is rampant again, only more so in text messaging rather than writing. It’s called textese, perhaps because your teasing the reader into confusion or flirtation? And if you’re one of those folks who send messages all day long, here’s to hoping you have an unlimited data plan. Or, you could also save by sending it free online.

So, getting to the point: As much as we try to impress or make people laugh in face to face conversations, you can do the same with words, emoticons, and have an even more powerful effect with a cutesy SMS abbreviations.

There are tons of acronyms for words, but there are those that stand out and make everyone want to use them. These are far from the standard FYI and LOL. Here are top 10 cute SMS abbreviations that you can send to family, friends, or a special person in your life:

1. HAND: Have a nice day
2. *S*: *Smile*
3. LYWAMH: Love You With All My Heart
4. H&K : Hugs and Kisses
5. AML : All my love
6. @>–;– : Rose emoticon
7. CW2CU : Can’t Wait to SEE You
8. BYE: Beside You Every time
