What does MHM mean in texting? With everyone using texting as a means of communication, it’s only fair if the number of acronyms and shorthand words and phrases has only increased. Using abbreviations is convenient because, unlike on a computer or a typewriter, you can use only thumbs on your phone. So, using shorthand language makes it easier.
Another reason for texting abbreviations’ increase in popularity was the limited number of characters people could use while texting. With time, the shortened language became trendy, and now it’s common to abbreviate words and phrases.
