Hey! 😅 Yesterday, I came across the term “LMS” and honestly, I was super confused at first. I remember I was texting my friend, and they just wrote, “LMS?” I was like, Wait, what does that even mean?
I thought maybe it had something to do with school or work, but then I decided to look it up. I finally realized that LMS actually stands for “Like, Message, Subscribe,” a slang used in texting and on social media. I felt relieved but also kind of amused that I had been confused for so long. 😅
