Chat conversations often take place at a very quick pace. To keep things flowing back and forth, it often helps to use abbreviations for frequently typed expressions. Below is a list of abbreviations you may see in chat messages:
| Abbreviation | What It Means |
|---|---|
| lol | Laugh out loud |
| rotfl | Roll on the floor laughing |
| btw | By the way |
| imho | In my humble opinion |
| brb | Be right back |
| ttyl | Talk to you later |
Another common practice is to use numbers in place of letters. For example, the phrase “c u 2nite” means “I will see you tonight.”
