Whats with all the acronyms lately?

[Nodak7mm]

As others have alluded to the high useage of smartphones used to peruse this site, texting skills come into play. I know I type different from my phone vs my laptop keyboard.

In short, whn texting, shortcuts are the norm. On a keyboard, well spell it out with proper language use.

Grammer, well that's a whole different ball game. Bad grammer makes you look silly regardless if texting or keyboarding. Cant fix ignorant.. ;D

Not to get political but neither can the government or most elected officials. Heck even the president said two numbers that were hundreds of millions different were equal. So I guess 7 and 9 are the same.

For people who are not familar with this type of communication it is like greek to me.I will admit that some are very obvious but in the beginning I had to post to find out what it meant.

It's a sign of the times, my kids text me often but call me rarely.

Here is an excellent resource for the colloquially challenged. Be forewarned, some common slang terms and acronyms have crude meanings. When I first encountered the gerund "twerking", I was forced to use the Urban Dictionary to determine the meaning. It definitely told me what it meant but I did not feel particularly enlightened knowing it. [br]

It is an excellent source....be forewarned also....it's not in alphabetical order....a deeper view, possibly, of the shape of things to come.

There are MANY things listed in the Urban Dictionary that I could have lived the rest of my life without knowing.

I agree completely. But, with two 20-something daughters, it's a defensive measure.
