Valentine's Day is traditionally a celebration of love. Teenagers in the UK often communicate their affection through text messages, WhatsApp, Facebook, and email. Some example shorthand codes that convey messages of love include "WUBMV" meaning "Will you be my Valentine?" and "xoxoxoxo" meaning "Hugs and Kisses". People have mixed feelings about Valentine's Day, with some enjoying receiving cards and messages from friends and partners, while others find the day humiliating if they are single or feel it is too commercialized.
