ROFLMAO

Computers, phones and many other devices withhold the ability to contact each other; Life is short, so you have to make things quick. We don't have time to sit down and type long essays to just send a simple messages to each other. This is why acronyms have become so popular and are used all over the world and everywhere! Here are some common ones you might have seen:

BTW - By The Way

OMG - Oh My God

WTF - What The F***

IDK - I don't know

Acronyms

They are just some simple ones to know there are many, many more. If you want a good resource for finding out what something means, go check out 'Urban Dictionary'. Some other useful tips for not being misunderstood:

keke - This is the same as hehe or haha, used to simulate the laughter of a person via text. This is usually more popular in Asian chatrooms or IRC channels.

555555 - If you see this repeated multiple times, take caution. When talking to someone from thailand '555' simulates laughter as the character for this was replaced with the 5. However, chinese girls will use '555' to denote 'sobbing' or 'to cry' this is because the chinese word for 5 is wu, so repeated = wuwuwuwuwu, which sounds like crying.
