An Academic Look at CYL8R

CYL8R is not an acronym or an abbreviation. It is classified as an "internet slang term" by our team because it employs both letters and numbers. Initially, "internet slang terms" were introduced for brevity, but, particularly with the advent of predictive texting, they are now mostly employed for fun. CYL8R is used like a declarative sentence (i.e., statement). In other words, it is not used as a part of speech in a wider sentence.
