Montana's Most Searched Abbreviations

OMG, LOL, ROTFL, FTC.

Oh my god, laugh out loud, rolling on the floor laughing, f- ah, never mind. I better not spell out that last one.

Abbreviations are here to make your texts shorter and easier. However, I would argue that abbreviations don't really save a lot of time. Does it really take you that much longer to type out "Christmas" instead of "Xmas" or "Be right back" instead of "BRB"?

Regardless, "experts," or as I like to call them "terts," at Unscrambler researched the most searched text abbreviations in the U.S. and Montana.

We used Google Trends to discover the top trending text abbreviations and Ahrefs to find the number of searches. America's most popular text abbreviations can be discovered in Google Trends through the keyword variations of 'meaning text'.

While we go through Montana's top 10, I want you to play along at home. How many of these abbreviations do you know?

12 Animals You Must Report If You Hit Them in Montana

Ever hit an animal while driving in Montana? It’s an unfortunate reality of life on the road here, and while some critters can scurry off unscathed, others aren’t so lucky.

So, who do you call? If you hit one of these animals, you’ll need to report it to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) or local law enforcement. If it’s an emergency—say, the animal is still alive and injured in a way that poses a hazard—call 911. Otherwise, the non-emergency number will do. They’ll guide you on the next steps and make sure everything is properly documented.

Not sure which animals make the list? Keep reading, because failing to report could land you in hot water.
