If you are not a native english speaker, I am saying that most of the replies have been dishonest, disrespectful, pointless and insulting.
I may only speak american english, but agree with Gloria. If you are too lazy to spell out the words, then why bother exerting yourself breathing? If you don't have the balls (courage) to say the words then shoot yourself. I'm a gimpy (less than perfectly able) middle-aged guy, and if you talked this way to me causualy I would cause your face and the back of your head to interact in an unpleasent way.
I am so lazy I sometimes forget to breath, but do not find it exhausting to push buttons on a keyboard.
Sorry, got a bit pissed off there, (angry).
The best response was from Taffer Boy Elvis, That is a funny joke, and I usualy hate jokes when they're written.
Anyway the point I'm trying to make is that we are here to interact and learn from each other, not exclude. Some of the 'slang' has been obvious to me because I'm inherently vulger, but some is just stupid.
lol=laughing out loud, I have never done anything but that, if it aint funny then I'm not laughing.
What does all this crap mean? Why waste time talking to people from around the world if you will not speak clearly?
The internet and this forum is not a club for idiots deluding themselves into belivieng in their own superiority.
CUT THE CRAP WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
Or am I wrong?

The Internet is friends with no man
Why didn't you just cut the crap and name yourself "None of Your Business" instead of beating around the bush with something a non-native speaker probably wouldn't understand?

Sorry if that seems odd, but after trying to download off of 'free' servers for a while I have run out of cute names. Everybody wants a description of your lifestyle. Unfortunately, I don't have one (a lifestyle). I just throw in a name from when I used to sell computers (customer, got old). Your reply was to the point without any cutsey anagrams or whatever, that's what I have a problem with. If you want honesty, I will tell you my full name, where I live and any other info you want.

The point was more just to ridicule you for somehow drawing the comparison that people need THE BALLS to type out full words. What the hell?
Shit happens, it would often be easier for the reader if posters typed everything out in full but more often than not abbreviations here are used for humorous purposes and/or the language has evolved to demonstrate new concepts. I can sympathize with people attempting to decipher these strange codes if English is their second (or third plus) language, but to be honest the majority of weird crap is flung in CommChat, and if you're in CommChat you're going to need some good language skills to keep up regardless.
If aforementioned non-native speakers post threads in places like ThiefGen, you typically get people speaking plainly to them. It's a non-issue, particularly if you know how to use Google.
