sms/web acronyms website

Burnt Rubber · 25-02-2010, 05:03 PM

G'day, after reading various stuff online/forums emails etc & not knowing half of what I was reading I finally looked up this site, it seems to list more abbreviated/acronyms than anyone would ever need, & I thought it might be useful:

http://www.netlingo.com/acronyms.php

Warning though there's a listing for just about every insult/rude word invented too.

ive never even seen half of those... pretty sure the site made them up as space fillers

imo kids use too many tla's irl, i mean wtf.
in my opinion kids use too many three letter acronyms in real life, i mean what the f*ck

Another good one is urban dictionary which includes more than just acronyms.

another good thing is people to use proper english from the start...

You're fighting a losing battle there. Grammar, sentence structure and spelling are becoming a forgotten art these days.

bourbon · 26-02-2010, 09:56 AM

i dont care about grammar really...but spelling & sentence structuring are major...

)

Mad Mat · 26-02-2010, 01:58 PM

thats contradicting ur self lol

mussing · 26-02-2010, 02:21 PM

One thing that really bugs me is that these days nobody seems to know the difference between the words 'brought' and 'bought'. Everyone has said 'I brought a new car' or 'I brought something off ebay' - no you didn't, you bought it! It's all over this forum, as well as many others.

Remember:

Buy, buying, bought.
Bring, bringing, brought.

Clean_Cookie · 26-02-2010, 09:25 PM

i brought it off ebay then i brang it to the next meet to show it off :P

mikey_something · 28-02-2010, 06:09 PM

i get what mussing is saying that really grinds me too
i think people need to "brought" english back into school... :P

the other one that gets me is people using the wrong "there, their, they're"
:/
