Hey Kriss,

I am over 25 and understand what is being said. You had better get used to it ASAP. The demand for time is si great that the world is going to this shorthand form of communication.

BTW, if you need any further help I am AFK but will BRB.

Now that I've given a joke reply, I'll give a more serious one....

I've seen several guides to net-speak, though I'm afraid I cannot recall any specific addresses, and hence, no link.

It's often bundled with leet-speak (aka 1337 5p34k) though the two are different.

Net speak is mainly just acronyms (lol = laugh out loud) used to shorten typing time
whereas leet speak uses numbers and symbols in place of letters, and is mainly used by gamers and hackers to confuse and befuddle newbies.

oh, and TLDR = too long, didn't read. :wink:
