The first one is sorta bulgy eyes...for if someone says something shocking.

kk means okay.


BRT - Be right there.
ATM - At the moment.

[Dr. Zeppers]

NVM - Nevermind
k - also means "ok" easier than kk by one keystroke and just as silly.
FYI - For your information

Heres a few FYI's:
"Aye" is not an acronym or abbreviation, its a word, and it doesnt mean "Yes" it is in an affirmative response, similar to "Yes" but not the same.
"C'mon" (self explanatory) is neither, its a slang term.


Please lets not start with the O_o stuff, those are more akin to smilies not acronyms.

[CrimsonRabbit]

tt= ?
vmk = ?

tt= Toon Town
vmk = Virtual Magic Kingdom

gn = good night

....I don't know why I know those.

This is a great guide for parents wanting to spy on thier children.

Ok, these are just straight out lazyiness, and should NEVER be used unless you want to show your ignorance and lack of spelling ability.
One actually suggests you use an entirely different word, with an entirely different meaning to mean something else?

I must also add, in many years ive never seen these ever used in this capacity.

But "kk" passes the plus-sign chat, while "k" does not. "kk" should not be mistaken for "Okay, okay!" but rather, just "okay."

Ah, good clue, being one that never requires or cares for the plus-sign chat I didnt realize.

[Rackat]

hagn - have a good night

[Chris]

POTCO numbers i just use 1234567890 lol i guess for those who have parental access on.

[Dr. Zeppers]

yeah, I hope noone expects me to use or understand the numbers I will ignore such communications as garbage.

(sounds like the stuff that scared me out of TT)

Dont be using these things to give out PI either!

Hey theres another one: PI - Personal Information (or 3.14 depending on your perspective)

This thread is about COMMON shortenings and abbreviations. I personally do not like any of them, but they are absolutely prevalent in this game. I was dumbfounded hearing these. Again, this thread is not a dictionary, it is just a tiny list of the very most common shortenings commonly used in this game. A raised eyebrow googly eyes "o_O" certainly is one such thing. Are there a million variations? Yup. Are the others used in this game? Nope. :shrug: Are any of them linguistically correct? #$@& no. So what? All the more reason to list them somewhere relevant.

If you don't turn on [+] a large portion of players can't hear you.

Noob

It is spelled "n00b" with a lower case "N" and zeros instead of the letter of the alphabet.

[Swash]

Noob is spelled Noob or Newb not n00b if you spell Noob n00b then your not using a word at all your using a new made up word that refers to Noob.

Aye, but to include them on the list also encourages one to use them.
Plus those are not common shortenings, they are common mispellings. There is a difference.

Just because some show POOR etiquette does not mean the rest of us should acknowledge it.
