How many shortcuts vocabs do you know?

=summary=

Nowadays, shortcuts words are spread all over the world.
and they have been written in the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary(OED).
There's popular and famous words.

OMG="oh my god", LOL="laughing out loud", FYI="for your information", and IMHO="in my humble opinion".

The OED calls them "initialisms" because they are made up of initials.


Now young people among the world, even in japan use these kinds of words on social media sites
such as Twitter, SMS texts..

They are very useful, easy and popular for its short numers of alphabets.
When you are limited to use the number of characters in a message like Twitter, it is very good.

I like this and I sometimes use these words too when I text or take a note.
I found it easy to take a note by useing these words.
In japan, we have such shortcuts words as well and year by year the number of these words are increasing.
But in my opinion I don't like those japanese. LoL
