An Academic Look at PNL

PNL is defined as a cyber term because the letter "n" is substituted for the sound of the word "and." Most cyber terms were introduced to reduce the number of key strokes required to write the phrase, but since the arrival of predictive texting and keyboards on mobile devices, this efficiency is no longer required. Nevertheless, cyber terms are still regularly used to make messages more entertaining or to express individuality. Cyber terms differ from icons because they are not pictorial representations.
