    They are initialisms not acronyms. In acronyms the initials make words, for example UNICEF or FIFA. Example of initialisms are BBC or NHS.

    Text speak in general. I asked my brother once why he wrote a text message where almost every word was shortened or abbreviated, he said it was easier. IT'S NOT FECKING EASIER TO READ!!!
