Chat Acronyms
by Ross Shannon
In the interests of keeping chat room conversations flowing at a rate comparable to real-life talking, many
acronyms and abbreviated forms of commonly-used words have sprung up to allow fast conveyance of
ideas; and also to destroy the English language. You can use some of these to speed up your chatter, but
try not to rely on them too much.

Acronyms
This is a list of the most common acronyms (shortened forms of phrases using capital letters for each

are used far too much.
