Internet abbreviations
 
Hello everyone. Do you use internet abbreviations at all, and if so what ones do you use commonly? I don't use them too much, but I use the really common ones like LOL, BRB, TTYL. Too many abbreviations can be annoying and hard to read sometimes. I also like to use smilies in my typing like :) and :(

Hello atusiya. I really like those Japanese emoticons, they are so cute. I have not seen all of them before, but some people on Final Fantasy forums often use a variation like ^_^ or ^_~.
