Emojis have been around since the touch screen keyboard on mobile devices was invented. However, teens have been drifting away from the good old laughing emoji and replacing it with “LOL” instead.
Many teens have thrown away emojis from their memories and replaced them with abbreviations. Abbreviation is taking the first letters of words and putting the letters into text messages. For example, LOL, TTLY, or (most commonly) ROFL are common examples. Zac Nowtarger，Jamie Fielding, Georgie Pogson, and Zach Smith are among the teens who have abandoned using emojis. “Emojis have gotten older, and even though abbreviated words don’t show much emotion in a text, emojis aren’t really used, so there’s no point keeping them around,” Zac said in KIDSNEWS(here).
In many teens’ opinions, “Abbres“ are very fast. Abbres refers to the shortened and slang form of abbreviations. They might not have as much emotion as emojis, but are growing in popularity. The guardians and parents of the teens might not completely understand them, but teens prefer them because of their fast, quick, and bubbly way of texting. “Abbreviations will also get old, but right now, they’re the most “preppy thing”!” explained one of my friends, making them (I assume) the most popular thing right now.
