Hi Guy,
SMS stands for "Short Message Service." It's the "text messaging" service commonly used on cell phones and blackberries. Abbreviations are used in SMS because the keys are very small (hard to manipulate) and because the wireless carriers usually charge by the character. Some people say SMS stands for "Silly Monkey Sh.t". Seems more descriptive to me ;-) |
