Believe it or not, for most of us, our messages remain incomplete without the use of text message symbols. Many times, the use of these emoticons is even unnecessary, but we have become so used to them that we can't do without them. Texting abbreviations and symbols undoubtedly help us in reducing the number of characters. 

A simple SMILEY can express whether you are happy or sad or even sarcastic about something. Texting abbreviations help you save space in messages. Besides, who would type 'Hope to see you soon', in a text message from your cell phone, when you can simply type HTSUS and get the message conveyed.

The task for you to do will be to type  a text message using abbreviations and emoticons.
