Did you know that there are people out there that haven't got a clue what people are trying to say to them. It's not their fault. They are listening - and reading, and just don't get it. It is probably that nobody ever taught them. Are you in with the techno lingo? Do you text on your cell? I have one client that always communicates with me thru my myspace page! Talk about a generational gap. I consider myself lucky in that respect. I have always had friends of every age - older and younger. And I don't mean by just a few years, lol. One of my best friends is 40 years older than me ---and another is 20 years younger.
Now, for those of you that are new to the texting/chat/email lingo - here is a little chart for you! And if the rest of you want to add some - feel free to do so in your comments.
lol = laugh out loud
:) = this is a smiley face. (look at it sideways)
:( = not so happy face.
:D = big excited smile!!
:P = sticking a tongue out, haha
lmao = laughing my ass off
rotflmao = rolling on the floor laughing my ass off
ttyl = talk to you later
brb = be right back
k = okay
u/ur = you, your, you're
im = instant messenger
ty = thank you
yw = you're welcome
That's enough to get you by :)

Kara,
LOL.....my thought's exactly.....
Those who use the T-9 feature and think they are sending what they want....on the receiving side it is like translating a language I have no clue how to....
This is the way my teenage son talks, you just hope that they can put a sentence together when it's time to write an english paper.
Kara,
I still prefer real words but it does help to know the lingo. My perspective on language, whether it is written or spoken is that if you don't use it you lose it, maybe not completely but it is important to always be on the cutting edge.

ttfn
My life is now complete. lol Thanks for sharing.
Good Post!
My daughters talk like this...and they have even used acronyms like this in writing papers for school. I nearly died when I proofread it...lol See, there i go...
Hahah That's funny. I dont think I could keep up with kids today and their lingo but those are old school acronyms from the early days of internet and messaging :)
I hear ya, Clint! too funny, lol
