Typing shortcuts...

In Spanish, we shorten words when sending messages all the time, for example, we type xq instead of porque or tmb rather than también .. there are thousands of examples like those in Spanish. In English, you do the same, for instance asap instead o as soon as possible or btw rather than by the way...


¿What's the most strange shortcut you use?


¿What's your favorite one?

UIO: Quito

Thanks Gonzalo - I think I have seen xq before but not understood the meaning.

A few examples in English:

2 - to, too

lol - laugh out loud

brb - be right back

imho - in my humble opinion

tldr - too long, didn't read
