I appreciate your feelings of not knowing what's meant by all the abbreviations. Years ago, when they were just coming into play, I tried to figure out what LOL meant. The best I could come up with (since it came in an email from a very religious friend) was Lord Oh Lord! (It would have fit in the context.) But I finally asked my daughter, and she clued me in.
However, the abbreviations are here to stay, and I think that's only proper. In any occupation or hobby you just have to learn the language, and that includes technical terms and abbreviations. Ask about the ones you don't understand, search on the web for lists (there are lots of them out there), and you will soon be familiar with the ones that pop up here. What's really confusing to me is when people try to use an abbreviation but get it wrong. I'm used to DP9 (instead of D9P - disappearing 9-patch), but some of the others can be hard to figure out.
