Summary
1. We use shorthand because the space is limited and we
want to be quick and efficient.
 CU 2mrw = See you tomorrow.
 BRB = Be right back.
2. Notices and announcement are short texts that we use to
inform people about certain matters. The
audience/readers should pay attention to the information
and do as specified in the notices/announcements.
