Acronyms

Today's children don't know a world without the internet or cell phones. Adolescents and young adults are especially fond of the new media. This has changed the speed at which we live. It also has given rise to a new lexicon. By text or by email, correspondence is fast, and acronyms are used for the sake of brevity, expression, and privacy. Emoticons are listed at the end of the page. Please note: for comprehensiveness, this content does include acronyms of profanities which occur in the text/chat lexicon.
