The most up-to-date lingo for wireless texting 
Administered by txtk.net and Omni-America
| |
Welcome to the
National Texting Registry acronym listing. You will notice
that where ever possible regular case (small) letters
are used (e.g.- iluvu or I luv u = I love you). Using all capital
letters is termed “shouting,”
and is not considered good texting etiquette.
If you have "predictive text"
turn it off, since the spellings suggested are not texting lingo.
Our editors are always on the lookout
for new texting terms and shortcuts. Since this website
is for USA visitors and users,
please feel free to offer new lingo suggestions. Always try to keep
new
lingo national (or regional) in scope.
In addition, since this is your website, we are interested
in suggestions
you have for improvement.
To begin, you might slowly scroll
down the entire Registry to provide an overall view. Keep in
mind
the Registry itself has no
spyware, no adware and no malware. And it is totally free without
registration.
This website is supported by the companies
you will see as you surf the Registry, and is
explicitly intended for United States
citizens. Enjoy! Best View Recommendation
