txt

Brief digital note

Txt is an informal spelling of text, used in digital communication where brevity matters.

It appears both as a noun I got your txt and a verb txt me when you get there.

The abbreviation became widespread with mobile phone messaging, where character limits and small keypads encouraged shortened spellings.
