On the Internet, people shorten words when writing. They are called Acronyms, which are abbreviations that use initials, but they are pronounced as a word and not as individual letters. The most common Acronyms are:
- AFK – Away From Keyboard
- BBIAB – Be Back In A Bit
- BBL – Be Back Later
- BBS – Be Back Soon
- BEG – Big Evil Grin
- BRB – Be Right Back
- BTW – By The Way
- EG – Evil Grin
- FISH – First In, Still Here
- IDK – I Don’t Know
- IMO – In My Opinion
- IRL – In Real Life
- KISS – Keep It Simple, Stupid
- LMK – Let Me Know
- LOL – Laughing Out Loud
- NYOB – None of Your Business
- OFC – Of Course
- OMG – Oh My God
- PANS – Pretty Awesome New Stuff
- PHAT – Pretty, Hot, And Tempting
- POS – Parents Over Shoulder
- ROFL – Rolling On the Floor Laughing
- SMH – Shaking My Head
- TTYL – Talk To You Later
- YOLO – You Only Live Once
- WTH – What The Heck
But please, when you are writing ‘BEFORE’ don’t shorten it with B4. We speak ENGLISH, it’s not BINGO!
