Re: I Wish There Was An ‘Abbreviation Corner’ On Here.
Abbreviation are everywhere and are quite useful unless a person makes up their own of course. For example, imagine having to write Ante Meridiem and post Meridiem instead of AM and PM all the time. I use abbreviations when texting quite a lot.

SMH: Shaking my head
DD: Dear daughter
IDK; I don't know
BFS: best friends, or friends also BFFs: best friends forever
IMHO: In my humble opinion
NBT: No big thing
FWIW: For what it's worth
TBC: To be continued.
Let the kids go right on using the abbreviations. After all, we can continue to write to each other in cursive, for which they all need translators these days
