During my early days on using the internet, I always have this problem of feeling embarrassed when I am chatting with a fellow on Facebook or Whatsapp and they sent me messages which include abbreviations.
In as much as I don't entertain the use of abbreviations in my writings, even right from my secondary school days I always make sure I write in full even when the teacher is dictating. I always feel weird when I see such abbreviations and I can't comprehend its meaning. Hence, I had to research them to find out what they actually mean.
I know many of us here are on this table, but not to worry, this post will help you understand some of these internet slangs/abbreviations and how to use them effectively
