Internet Lingo from the Hall of Batgirl

My internet lingo became a topic of conversation over Thanksgiving & now is a part of one of my son's blogs. Well, I do find that the fewest words/letters needed the better when IMing--especially when i'm at work. My son, Trent, wonders why I do it (it's quicker) & my daughter-in-law, Kelly, wonders where I picked it up (I think from my niece & nephews or from the WVU sports message boards).
Anyway I think I only know the basics . . . ty--thank you, yw--you're welcome, brb--be right back, imo--in my opinion, wtg--way to go, etc. Then, of course there are variations of the above, i.e. yvw--you're very welcome or imho--in my humble opinion. Also there are letter or numbers for words, such as k for o.k., r for are, u for you, 4 for for, etc. So I think that anyone for whom "blog" is both a noun & a verb should become savvy with these abbreviations.
So if u r confused, then u should brush up on your Internet lingo. IMHO it is quicker & easier. Try it. K?
