'OMG' was first used in a letter written in 1917
This isn't a new way of texting. This acronym was first used during the First World War by an admiral named John Arbuthnot Fisher. In a letter to Winston Churchill dated 9/9/17, he wrote "I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis – O.M.G. (Oh! My God!) – Shower it on the Admiralty!" Churchill responded with a sarcastic 'LOL'. Maybe. Probably not, actually.
