Texting Abbreviations for the Elderly
This week on Car Talk, Tom and Ray opened the show with a little discussion of texting. (You can hear it, right here.) We all know that text messaging started out as something only kids would do. Now, a decade or two later, however, senior citizens are texting each other furiously.
All that senior texting got us wondering... what's the "private language" that seniors are using? Here are our suggestions for senior texting acronyms -- what are yours? Share them right here!
