Issue - IMing Acronyms
Tiptoid - One Thursday afternoon I was IMing Sharmeen when she said "ttyl." For a second I went blank because she signed off before I could ask her what "ttyl" meant. So I decided to do some research. The next day, I looked in my M2P classroom for a brochure on IMing, because we have M2P student-produced brochures on almost everything there! Luckily, I found out that "ttyl" was an IM acronym that meant "talk to you later."
Online you can use IM acronyms like "ttyl" (especially if you are in a hurry). Here are some other IM acronyms -
"lylas" - love ya like a sis (for girls)
"brb" - be right back
"lol" - laugh out loud
"g2g" - got to go
"sry" - sorry
"u" - you
"ur" - your
As you can see, I could go on forever.... :-)
