Are you in habit of using these and other internet expressions usually? Do you think they really convey you emotion and are better at it? or are they simply time saving while communicating the expression at the same time? what other expressions you use normally?

I only use the LOL expression. I think the chat expressions also expresses our feelings. But I think it will be better if myLot has smileys on it. Smileys make me think what the person is actually feeling. It makes me imagine his reaction based on the reaction of his smiley.

Actually, I learned to use chat expressions on myLot. I don't really like using LOL or GTG when I am chatting. I usually send them a smiley or an audible. That would be more convincing.

I only use LOL myself, and maybe BRB every now and then. I haven't really caught up with all the chat expressions. It took me a long time to figure out IMO and IMHO! I think that's about all that I recognize. I don't even know what ROFL means....now that's an LOL!

I too only usually use LOL here, uiwwitch. Interestingly, I myself don't know what many short cuts stand for:-) but I do know about ROFL=rolling on floor laughing or something like that. Thanks for responding, uiwwitch:-)

why matrixx! can't I start it? I am enjoying how it would have turned up, your chat short word. I assume that you have amuzed yourself as well as many others but I really can't imagine what type of fun you had? It would depend on who caught the word!?:-) again thanks for responding:-)
