Many of us have had the experience of chatting with people on line when suddenly they use some abbreviated lettering to reply to you that you have never seen before and you are at a loss to understand what they are saying. A lot of people like to type this way because it saves time and for some of us its a little easier on the fingers. Sometimes younger people on the net type and write to each other this way because it helps ensure them some privacy from the prying eyes of parents who usually are not in the know about what the shorthand version of the words mean. So for all those parents out there i offer you some help to understand. Some of them are more harmless than anything else but some of them might be red flags that you should pay attention to and help keep your kids out of danger on line. Some of these will likely be familiar to you and some maybe not.
