1 thanks: 'Thanks' is an abbreviated, but very common form of 'thank you'. In SMS messages, 'tks' (and 'thx') is a common abbreviation of 'thanks'.
2 for: In SMS language (or 'text speak'), '4' is the common abbreviated form of the preposition 'for'. Other letters are commonly used: '2' for 'to', 'two' or 'too'; 'U2' for 'you too'; 'B4' for 'before'; 'L8r' for 'later'; 'Gr8' for 'great'.
3 your: In SMS messages, 'your' is often abbreviated as 'ur' or 'UR'. 'Your' is the possessive adjective for the second person.
4 though: 'Tho' is a common abbreviation of the term 'though'. When placed at the end of a sentence (as is the case in Philip's SMS message), 'though' shares a similar meaning with 'however'. Example: She said she enjoyed the party; I think she might be lying though. 'Though' also shares a similar meaning with 'despite the fact that' and 'although'. Example: Although (or though) it rained a lot, we enjoyed our party.
5 be: The future tense 'will + verb' is always formed without the preposition 'to'. In this case, the verb '(to) be' is used. 'Be' is commonly abbreviated as the letter 'b' in SMS messages. Example: Who will b at the party?
6 See you: In SMS messages, 'c u' (or 'cu') is a common abbreviated form of the expression 'see you'. 'See you' (or 'see ya') is an informal way to say 'good-bye' or 'I'll see you later'. It is often spoken or used in text messages or emails.
