BRB=Be Right Back
AFK=Away From Keyboard
WB=Welcome Back
B/W=Between
BTW=By The Way
w/=with
asl= (the most annoying thing about chat rooms.. icky icky things) age, sex, location
and all the variations on ROTFL (some of which arent appropriate on this board)

... this is just basic short hand that i use when taking notes in class (with the exception of asl) and also online... basically any abbreviation you can think of.. and you can make up your own so long as you can explain them... also sometimes when people mean to express say a physical motion in words they will put ::: and ::: around it like :::so::: or else like *this* or even like <this> i have seen...

oh another abbreviation i have seen is <g> for grin...

.... hmmm who here talks on AOL IM too much? ya think? and is up too late working on papers and wired on caffeine again?hmmmmmmmm
.... anyways i hope i have been of some help~!

ohh by the way this is a neat symbol to use too~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
