Instant Messaging Abbreviations, Texting and Emoticons are all used much more in today's communication. This allows for quick contact with shortened words with meanings longer then the word is portrayed. Texting allows easy communication and is not time dependent. This allows for one to respond whenever available to do so. Where as on the telephone, you must find a time when both are available to talk at the same time. Emoticons allow to show emotions through text messaging. This benefits a majority of people today as this allows for easier communication to get ahold of someone as time persist.

In this day and age of digital communication, this guide is a useful reference for those who engage in instant messaging and/or texting. Although I am familiar with many of the abbreviations and emoticons mentioned, there were others that I had neither heard of nor seen before.
Even for individuals who are old school and prefer communicating via landline and handwritten messages(which still have their charm, in my opinion), exposure to digital communication is inevitable and unavoidable. It would be beneficial for them to be somewhat knowledgeable of the jargon and symbols.
Overall, I feel this will be a handy guide for everyone. Also, at the end of the guide, there is helpful and pertinent advice that should be,at least read, if not followed by all. ( )
