    Hey you guys (girls too) What are all the abreveations for some of the things you write? For example: lol
    If you can think of an abreveation please post it and what it means thanks. [img]http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif[/img] [img]http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif[/img]

    All I use on a fairly regular basis in email is:

    ttyl - Talk to you later
    ttys - talk to you soon

    and of course:

    fyi - for your information
    btw - by the way

    I don't think I've used any of them yet on the forums though. [img]http://www.**********.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif[/img]
