BRB. Acronym for 'be right back'. Easily understood by any regular internet user like me. It's ok when you use acronyms that are understood by the vast majority. But when people start taking matters into their own hands, there's where it gets a lil' nerve wracking. See, acronyms like BRB, STD, PLS, ASAP or LOL are all undastood and often used by many regardless of their age. But stop using acronyms that we don't understand. Sometimes, chatting in MSN could be a lil' unnerving when people start inventing their own acronyms just for their own added comfort. But the real problem starts when you get your acronyms misunderstood. Judge for yourself.

Acronym: DYTIRAAG?
What it could actually mean: Do you think I really am a girl?

Acronym: Hehe. TWYT
What it could actually mean: Hehe. That's what you think.

Acronym: Grr. EMWIBY
What it could actually mean: Grr. Excuse me while I block you.

Acronym: IJS
What it could actually mean: I just stripped.

Acronym: IAGAY?
What it could actually mean: I am gay. Are you?

Acronym: IAANYPT. WMAV?
What it could actually mean: I am actually NYP tammy. Wanna make a video?

And just so that I don't get left behind in this acronym establishing business, I've come up with one too. It's always pays to be on track. And mine goes like this:

Acronym: WATAGSUATOTGU?
What it means: When are these assholes gonna stop using acronyms that only their grandmother's understand?

Adios.
