The good thing about the smart phones we have now is that they all come with dictionaries pre- installed, if you are not sure of a spelling, simply type it out on your phone and let it correct it for you!
And please, don’t get too attached to chating abbreviations because you may unconsciously use them when writing an examination or formal write-up.
Feel free to share your views and add yours.
