Thanks for posting that - there were a few of those that I didn't know.

[Janet]

I knew if anyone would, out Tink would come through for us. Thanks for letting us know these abbreviations. I should either print this out or figure out how to tag it.

[Tink]

LOL Janet, I've been on boards and chats for so long I have to watch it or I use some of these in everyday conversation!

[DianaB]

My biggest problem is.....can I remember all of them?

[Marilyn]

Thank you, Tink. I've been meaning to look these up. Some folks on here use some from time to time that I don't know and I'm here looking at the acro and the context and trying to figure out what they are saying. I need to print or tag this, too.

I copy and paste these things onto a Word document and save them there.

You can also bookmark the page, or copy and paste it onto an email, send it to yourself, and save it in a folder in your email Inbox.

You can also print them out - I think huge letters, lots of emoticons, and hanging them in the bathroom would be funny. Don't tell anyone why it's there either.
