What acronyms do you use on forums?

[faerywings]

I use a lot of acronyms and abbreviations when I post here. Some are the obvious ones like LO and LOL. Others might be not as easily recognized (IYKYK- if you know, you know).
What ones do you use a lot? I'm going to make this into a running list for people who don't; speak English as their native language. It might be neat for some of the non-English speakers to share the acronyms they use too. What is the French/Dutch/German version of Laugh Out Loud?

ASAP - as soon as possible
AKA - also known as
BFF Best Friend Forever
BRB Be right back
BTW By the way

IYKWIM If you know what I mean
LOL means in German "kaputtlachen" or better "I break together" = Ibt

OMG - oh my God (or Goodness)

[faerywings]

I added a few more and I also stuck the thread so it doesn't get lost.
HTH!
(hope this helps)

Great list, very helpful.
I don't use them, and reading them is also difficult as the letters have different sounds in Dutch!

And LOL is a Dutch word, it means fun, so that one is easy!

 

[zanthia]

i rarely use them as i dont like reading things and seeing acronyms and have no idea what they mean.

exceptions are ct - for ct team , lo for layout on scrap sites lol is only one will use in general

I think you've got them covered. Although, I'm sure somebody will come up with some new ones.
