The Legend of the Abbreves

There are many words in the English language. 1,025,109.8 words. There are many phones. 290,290,000 Americans with them. There are many lazy people. There is no way to determine this, but you know who you are! And, because of that, there are many abbreviations. Over 1,400 of them. That may not seem like lot...  The full list here.  Many of them are dumb and should never be used.  The fact that they exist though, mean people used them at least once.  That doesn't matter though.  They've already been made and I can't reverse time.  I wish I could though, that would be cool. Back on the topic at hand though, these abbreviations, known as abbreves by someone I don't know.  Another thing I don't know is what I will talk about.  I guess I could talk about the history of texting.  In 1933 the first telex service began in New York.  Telex was a network of machines made for sending text-based messages to other machines(Surprised there isn't any accounts of pranks!).  The first real text message sent said,"Merry Christmas!" and was sent to Richard Jarvis who was at a Christmas party at the time.  The full history of text messaging is very interesting, but a bit too long to put into one post, and I'm lazy and really need to get this post out. So here is the link for the history on text messages.
