I am studying English and sometimes when I read books or magazines I realize
that although I catch on I would like to feel it better.
I hope that my questions do not drive you crazy.

Since you are studying English, I'd like to point out that it really is
better *not* to incorporate SMS-codes in your English. They are
generally regarded as evidence of laziness on Usenet, and almost never
used in any other form of written English. For "sb" you should write
out "somebody" (or "someone") in full; in a previous post you wrote "u"
where you should have written "you". It is good practice to get these
things right!

What does the university think?
I think not.
Very unlikely to be The * University, but usually The University of *
The only exception I can think of (there's always one) is The Open University

I studied there many decades ago - we referred to it as TCU, but perhaps |
they've modified the name since then.
