Seems everyone has an abbreviation for
something.Abbreviations .. letters in messages.
Some we can
guess--lol - lots of laughs - . Yet,,, there are plenty that
really make you scratch your head and say what the heck does that
mean? Sometimes, I wonder if people make them up as they go
along!! Here is a list one dude sent me that covers most of the
things that are used in messages.
If you see
anything objectionable,
just send me a note.
I must confess I just
cruised over
the thing or should that be
I JCO.
Maybe QR
