Great topic Percy. Your poll was flawed by your own admission.
I enjoyed your interaction with rfr10 and the fact that he ran rings around you. This is a young man with ambition - more pedal to his metal I say!
Yes

THX rfr10 always wondered what oxoxoxoxoxoxo meant but had never asked! Have to say my texting is a mix of real and txt spk but I do love to text - so handy!
Sorry, off topic, but rfr10's list of abbreviations reminded me of these East Asian keyboard emoticons, which I like because they're so inventive...and you don't have to break your neck trying to look at them the right way up. I've deleted a lot in the interests of brevity, and decorum on the forum .

Why would anyone want to write 'to whom it may concern' on a text message?
For pity's sake don't answer.Thank You. Over and out.
A lot of these text abbrevations come from IRC (Chat).
The first text message was sent in 1992 but texting did not really take off until 1998-1999.
Internet chat was popular in 1994-95 ish (AOL chat rooms, Compuserve, MIRC etc) and these were very popular.
