Chat language in the real world......

I don't use too much chat talk when talking to my friends online, We all type fast enough that we can have a normal chat without having to go, lol, rofl, wtf, or brb. We just type it out. When I hear people using these in conversation with people, sometime I wonder if it is time for people to unplug and read a book. But language is ever evolving and one day, saying lol or typing it in to a paper for school will be acceptable practice, if only because humans are getting lazier and lazier as time goes down the drain of life.

When I first started chatting, I thought brb was a burping noise because everyone was drinking in the room...lol!

rofl that made my day given

i didn.t understand it either when i first read it

LOL...I felt so stupid!

I would just make the burp sound after them, in my own way haha!

OMG !! PMSL TITFTIHER..ROFL..TY GM TTYL ITRW

NAOLP..

Its getting so bad in my town that all the lil hoodies are cutting most words nearly back to single letters!Ill give you a couple of examples:

* Chur is a big saying over my ways and its a pretty simple word to say but no the stupid punks in my town cut it down to chu(pronounced cha now) but that was still to difficult so now its just ch(pronounced chh)

* Cousin also a word thrown around alot my ways mostly because everyone is related or considered a relation in my town.Anyway either because the lazy buggers thought it took to long to say or it was to hard to spell it got chopped to cuz.Fair enough you say cuz gets used everywhere, nope it gets worse, cuz was still to hard to say/spell so now its been slaughtered to co.

So now in my town you get greeted with "ch co" Charming eh?

The only ones that I have a chance of translating are:

OMG = Oh My God.
ROFL = Rolling On The Floor Laughing.
TY = Thank you?
GM = Givenmay?
TTYL = Talk To You later
