Internet Acronyms - what's that and who needs them?

 I'm sure you have already seen some of these funny short abbreviations. When you visit some blogs or forums, or may be chats, you will see these words very often. Especially they are being used in chats, in order to make the conversation flow faster. It's sort of a secret language, which is understandable not for all memebers of the chat. Why? 

Oh, well, many of not native speakers just don't know what are these words, how to "translate" or "decode" them. Today, I want to show you that everything is not so difficult, you just have to start noticing these words and if you don't know the meaning, I inserted a picture in this post, which will help you at the beginning to decode acronyms, which you will see online.

Of course, we don't use acronyms in real life, we use them in text messages. Please, notice, that some people think that it's not very polite to use acronyms in a conversation, because it shows that a person whom you are talking to isn't very important for you, that you don't want to spend time and energy even to write the whole word. And of course, try not to speak with acronyms only, because people will think you are some kind of a spy.  

Enjoy yourself, people around you, your new knowledge and acronyms of course.
