I can't stand when people talk like that! I mean... I make an effort to spell almost all things out.

The only ones I use are: lol, j/k and occassionally brb and bbl.

I find nothing wrong with:
lol
brb
g2g
cya
afk

That is all I can stand though. I especially hate "wat" instead of "what".

What does afk mean?

Also, what gets me is that things like "wat" save you NO time. I mean... thats one LETTER.

lol - what a thread

afk is Away From Keyboard

i guess i use some of them abbreviation things a lot, but them drastic ones like wb, ttfn, gl, the ones that u gotta think about to understand, they bug

but i use 'u' instead of you a lot and '2' instead of two or to a lot, just easier i guess
