An Academic Look at ILYF
ILYF is used as a standalone declarative sentence (i.e., a statement). In other words, it is not used as a part of speech within a wider sentence. As it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., "Aye El Wye Eff"), ILYF is classified as an initialism abbreviation. Initialisms are different to acronyms, which are spoken like words.Example of ILYF Used in a Text
