Why should we encourage the use of internet-speak? Why not just spell everything out?

And this isn't a topic that should be in The Septagon, so I'll move it to The Flood.

Here is where you can find odd abreviations and what they mean, I don't know if this has been attempted before but here goes.
lol= Laugh out loud
lmao=laugh my ass off
btw=by the way
omg=oh my god or gosh
omfg= oh my f_cking god
j/k=Just kidding
ihu=i hate you
wtf= what the f_ck
wth=what the hell
<3=Heart
u=you
b4=before
2=to
4=for
I hope this works and soon people who are new to bungie don't get terribly confused.
Also, if you think of any more, post them.
I will at times steal from posts by copying and pasting.

That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.

No, dumb is 'dumd' as put by the instant classical line by Jophus1 (and it's kind of funny to see how much people use it and then how many people were actually there when it was used).

The man's right, we shouldn't be encouraging AOL speak.

I don't think we should encourage it, but for the times when your finishing up a masterpiece but you've got to go to work, those .5 seconds add up, also, for the times when someone speaks only in those terms, well, you'll know what they mean.

Yeah, many people think that. Of course, this is a screen name I have had for almost 8 years or so... you know... before you teenagers ruined the English language. :-)

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

DMB=Very great band with a very legendary song called All Along the Watchtower which is a billion times better when you listen to it being played live.
