Why do Hong Kong people send text messages with letters? It's not Cantonese yet. What happened?

Those are English abbreviations! For example, birthday =bday, friend =frd, thanks =thx, you =u, love =lv. These conventions can be understood by Hong Kong people. Some people in Guangdong also use it like this. I'm from Guangdong, and I can understand.
