when i was new at the net, i'm not so familiar with internet "lingo". when i started to make blogs at yahoo360 site, i usually encounter comments that are a bit new to me. when someboday say, "Weeeee, i'm FTC, LOL...BTW, your blog is great...!"then i say to myself, what the hell is she talking about? with those abbraviations, i was totally confused and lost. hahaha!now i know what some of those net lingo' means:FTC - First To Comment

I was befuddled too when I started out. I finally asked somebody who used a lot of those abbreviations in her emails what it mean and why. Little did I know it was used on chats a lot.
Here are a few of my favorites though:
LMAO = laughing my a.s.s. off
KMA - kis my a.s.s.
One thing I don't like though is when people use LOL a lot. Some just have to have it somewhere in every sentence they use. Are they really laughing at everything or is it just out of habit? Hmmm... I wonder!

I remember I use to read this "LMAO" before and I really wonder what it means. I was ashamed to ask about its meaning so I just ignore it. But later on I get to understand it along with those other net lingo...

Ok, Here is One O.M.G!!! I didn't know what that mean for a while but I kept seeing it, and it dawned on me, they are saying Oh My Gosh, that is the abbreviation for it, so Now I use it. Here is another one, that one of my friends here taught me, making a smiling face.

There is so many slang and 'lingo' out there and because English is not my mother tongue I sometimes have a very hard time getting discussions that seem to have been composed on júst abbreviations and nothing else. It can take some time to get through reading them and even if I manage to that doesn't mean I get the clue of the discussion. There are no normal words in there 
Even though I use abbreviations like LOL, ROTF and OMG I try to minimalize it so that my messages stay clear and have a decent spelling, or at least as good as I'm able to get it.
