Chat Acronyms

(abbreviations)

 

A list for all those people who don't chat on the internet or game often enough to know what the heck a person is talking about when they type in code.... and don't feel bad about this because there are plenty of times that I have to look some of these up since I haven't memorized them all either. There are more of them but so the list doesn't go on forever I have only listed the most commonly used ones.
