Those using the abbreviations
do so as a tactic for speed in
text communication, a
university professor on
linguistics said, while others
just choose to do so because they are a code that older
people don’t quite understand. WeAreSocial.com.au managing director Julian Ward said the
various different shortcuts, which
range from the the compassionate
ILY (I Love You) to the more
profain WTF (What the F***) are
commonplace now and indicate the changing way people harness
social media. Using social listening tools,
WeAreSocial.com.au monitored trending terms used by
Australians on Twitter from
April 1 to June 30. The top ranking term was, LOL which was used a total of 1,242,935 . ‘We can see a range of clever to practical acronyms as
people look for speed and
limited thumb work – plus of
course it feels good to be in
the know, especially on more
subversive terms,’ Mr Ward said. 1. LOL: Laugh out loud 2. OMG: Oh my god 3. ILY: I love you 4. LMAO: Laughing my a** off 5. WTF: What the f***? 6. PPL: People 7. IDK: I don’t know? 8.
