I don't use much internet slang at all - part of the reason for that is that I have to type at work using English, so I don't want to start confusing the issue and ending up sounding like a teen internet junkie when I type a letter! Could you imagine the fuss it would cause?

Also because I can touch type at 60wpm there really isn't any need for me to abbreviate [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'll leave that to you non-typers [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That's not Internet Slang...that's Hackerese. And, as Glorfindel says, rather pretentious and annoying. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, Glorfindel, BTW, could you change the color of your text? Dark green on brown is very difficult to read! Thanks!

Cheers,

I always use it. Its fun.Try it.

Most of us know about internet slang but choose not to use it, as do I. Why not just write plain english given that it's blatently the clearest and easiest way to communicate? I often don't waste time trying '2 figure out wut ppl mean w/internet slang' because I find it rather hard to take the author seriously. As always, feel free to comment, criticise, flame or drill [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color="gold">I almost never use internet slang. But I know of a few that have not yet been listed:

ROFLMAO: Rolling On Floor Laughing My A** Off
ASAP: As Soon As Possible
M8: Mate
Brb: Be Right Back</font>
