| I've never chatted or been to another site so I found your list fascinating Broadway! No wonder I can't communicate with some people! femme fatale: If you put a colon in front of the lol or rofl it becomes a smiley. Does that help?  I was sad to see luv  on the list though. How about lurv? ...I guess not.

| Lurve is in the dictionary... so maybe it's still OK? Main Entry: lurve Part of Speech: n, v Definition: romantic infatuation; love; also written [lerve] Etymology: humorous mispronunciation of 'love' Usage: colloquial And wow. I had not seen the Gotti forum before now. That was pretty bad indeed!

| No disrespect intended, but I cannot believe I just received infraction points for using "ppl" instead of people. That's a normal abbreviation and is not on par with stuff like Kewl, 2B, Ur, or any of the other inane text message lingo. Isn't this just a bit silly?? |

| I'm with ScoutMom. For the most part, I do not like seeing abbreviations (although WTF is too handy to be without )Language is a powerful tool. To paraphrase my pseudo-hero, Norm Abram of New Yankee Workshop, "Make sure you read, understand, and follow the rules that come with your language. Doing so will greatly reduce your risk of infractions . . ."

| I would be in trouble without the occasional wtf or wth. But glad not to have to wade through the lingo. I can't even read the e-mails from my 20 something cousin without my kids translating for me.

Both are "conjuctions" of the words though and through and are common spellings of both words according to Websters. Silly indeed. I myself hate seeing kewl, TTYL, UR, etc., but I have been using tho most of my life.
