and Text messages.

:-D

I'm reading a story right now, the mother of the main character has finally got a mobile phone and is delighted with it. She loves sending text messages to family & friends.

The daughter had to tell her mother that "wtf" does NOT mean "Wow, that's fantastic".

Made me laugh, and I wondered if anyone REALLY thinks that???

:-D :-D :-D

Hi Scozz,

A few people on here thought that LOL stood for: Lots of Love

It led to a few misunderstandings ;-) :-D
