To use these short forms, simply substitute them for the full words or phrases in your text messages. For example, instead of typing "Laugh Out Loud," you could simply type "LOL" to convey the same message. However, it's important to use them appropriately and ensure that the person you're communicating with understands what you're saying.
Note that the use of SMS short forms may vary depending on the region or country, and some may have different meanings or interpretations.
