Abbreviating messages has always been a priority with humans, especially teenagers. But who invented text message abbreviations and chat acronyms? Not a human- but man’s best friend, his BFF, the dog! When we attempted to type using the keypads, we were not blessed with thumbs and we chose to shorten messages as much as possible. In fact, it is documented in this historical “masterpiece”…

So, dear BFFs, LOL and TTYL –

Woofs and wags,
Bella
