But with texting, it's pretty much unlimited size and even pictures, sounds, links and videos too!
So why not just write out all the words?

The bit on The Villages radio ended with the guy saying us old people should just make up our own abbreviations and text the youngsters with that. I think that would be fun!
I'm'a gonna guess (IMAGG) that the title of your post stands for: Fear Of Missing Out, If You Know What I Mean.
