Was it one person, or did it naturally evolve through use of the mobile phone?

some evolved over time and some were taken from short hand.

BFN, as state above, is bye for now but I'm not sure what TTC means. If it was TC, I would say it meant take care. I'm 32 and I do a lot of texting. I'll shorten things up and abbreviate, but it depends upon what I'm texting and to whom I'm texting. If it's someone who I know doesn't have a lot of experience texting, I don't usually shorten things up. But given that I only have 160 characters, there are times that I'll shorten up words. Edit - Jarrod - what's wrong with someone over 20 sending texts? If I'm at work and I have no privacy, there's nothing wrong with me being 'old' and doing it. I happen to be quite proficient with my texting and in the past week got worldwide attention (granted it was a puff piece) by winning a text competition plus a nice check which I received in the mail today. I don't hang out in chat rooms, I don't use T9, I spell out my words for the most part and when I do abbreviate it's saying something like 'bck' instead of 'back' and I don't think I'm 'cool' because I can text fast. Don't judge. Edit - Jarrod - I stand corrected. I did read your answer incorrectly. I was thinking that you were saying that adults shouldn't text, you were saying they shouldn't shorten words. Sorry to get defensive. I don't use abbreviations such as ttyl, ttfn, etc.

All a combination of people who have grammatical/spelling issues, laziness, teenagers, evolution of technology, and no time to type everything :)

Actually, I invented text messaging. You can all pat me on the back now.

I think it's a little bit of evolution with a lot of bored/lazy teenagers.

I think it evolved, because I make up some of my own.
