BFF

Recently, one of my young vocal trainee was preparing a song for an audition. In the song, the word ‘BFF’ caught my attention. I found out from her that it meant ‘Best Friends Forever’. A few years ago, a friend sent me an SMS with the abbreviation ‘btw’, I took a long time to figure that one out. It means ‘by the way’.

Online and SMS shorthand is so widely used today. Look at some interesting shorthand here:

c u : see you

ttul: talk to you later

btwn: between

gb: goodbye

gn: goodnight

t’row: tomorrow

2day: today

y’day: yesterday

2gether: together

con’t: continue

bbs: be back soon

This online and SMS shorthand continue to evolve and develop and shape our way of communication. This hype is certainly here to stay for some time.
