Acronyms and Other Internet Shorthand
Online chat rooms, Instant Messaging systems, and even cell phones equipped to send text
messages are environments rich in abbreviations, acronyms, and other "shorthand" that
help increase the speed of communication. We have created a searchable list to help
parents become aware of some of the common "lingo" that is used in these environments.
You may find some of these terms to be vulgar, degrading, or otherwise offensive.
However, we believe it is our responsibility to provide parents and educators with
this level of understanding of the dangers that face our children.
