This website cracked me up. http://www.instantmessagingplanet.com/faq/ I knew there have been a lot of advancements and additions to the world of IM abbreviations, but I didn't know there were this many - and so many funny ones. AAK -Asleep At Keyboard, MNC - Mother Nature Calls, and some other ones that aren't appropriate in all arenas. ;c)
And to hear younger generations just spout them off and type them so naturally is fascinating too. I LOL each time I see the cell phone commercial (I think its AT&T, not sure) where the Mom and kid are firing them back and forth. I think the latest one has other family members joining in too.
Incidentally, when I spell checked this message, the only words that it caught were the abbreviations (okay, and the word "incidentally"). I wonder how long it will take for spell check to catch up or if that's even possible!
Do we even want them to?
Well, in the words of Miss Scarlet "TIAD" (Tomorrow is another day) to ponder and post away.
