WOW! (that stands for WOW!) lol

It's faster for me to type out the word then it is to figure out some of what they all stand for.

But it is interesting to see just how much we have shortened our spelling for the sake of being faster and then we also wonder why our kids don't know how to spell. Two ways to look at things I guess.

I'll have to print it out LTR - NTN (No time now) :lol: :lol:

TY

You know, I have to agree with you! Granted it's much easier to write lol than laugh out loud, or HAND for Have A Nice Day!

So in short, I must say that I am a fence sitter on this one! LOL :thumbup:

Have a great day!
TreeFrog

That must have taken for ever. thankyou I have been puzzled by some abbreviations.

You mean there's more oh heck. ug ug . lol

These are great.

All I did is take what someone else had already done and changed the format for everyone to be able to read and use!
I too am still puzzled by some of the acronyms!

TreeFrog

I know! MORE! Hard to believe that they were thought up in the first place! LOL

TreeFrog

almost everything used here is used elsewhere in texting. here is a list of all texting acronyms. what we use can be found alphabetically. ignore the rest.

Yeah, however I have a 17 year old and I have seen his spelling! His friends, well that's a different story! I often wonder am I at fault, or are the professionals who were there to assist (teach) him from grades 1 to 6??

TreeFrog

Thank you so much for this. I plan to use it often, so everyone be prepared. B4N

Thank you a thousand times over!!! :thumbup:

My Pleasure ladies!

TreeFrog

Many thanks.

OMG,that i do know.I don't text i use the phone.I see where we could use a lot of different what ever you call then.

This short hand started with kids speaking to each other in chat rooms on the web while their parents were in the room! Then the Police were watching for predators and made the list available for all. The list then expanded and can be difficult to understand at times! The best people to ask are teens between the age of 13 to young adults!

TreeFrog

BTW: I am happy that the list is here for all of us!

very helpful thank you.

again, my pleasure

Thank you for the abbreviations. I was always wondering what other quilters were saying............ :thumbup:

:( I can't open. I have tried several ways. Is there a trick I do not know about. I'm usually pretty good at this stuff.

Thankyou so much...this is a BIG help...

:thumbup:

MY pleasure, I LOVE helping others!

TreeFrog

TreeFrog, you are a typical quilter...they are the most giving, helpful and kindest folks I know!!!

Blessings and Merry Christmas!

I printed it off. It is some dictionary!

What a great list! I've saved it for study later!

Ah, thanks.
I have just the audience for this list, too.
The grads at our school just hung a banner and at the bottom it has "FTW" which I heard is "force the win" and hope they aren't just dyslexic and meant to put "WTF" which I will not decipher for you!

Jan, You totally ROCK! Thank you so much this is extremely helpful. It is 11:21 PM at my house and I love that people all over the world are on this board at the same time I am. It is snowing, I am on the quilt board and Overhaulin is on the TV. I am a happy woman!

Love the dancing penguin. Where did you find it?

I can't open it and I do have exel and word...

I just got it. Thank you.
