Texting on portable devices has developed a set of abbreviations due to the neces- sary brevity of text messages. Create a dictionary of texting abbreviations and use it to write functions that can translate to and from English. Use all the abbrevia- tions found in this link under List of Text Messaging & SMS Abbreviations (http://www.connexin.net/internet-acronyms.html For example: "L8R" translates to "Later", and vice-versa. Write a program where the user can choose to type text or an abbreviation, and the program will traslate the input using the dictionary.
