thanks amanda

I didnt even know half of those! lol

 

Me either... that's why I'm glad I've got this list. LMAO!! It's come in handy many times.

~Amanda

 

i think i knew about four or five of em [&:]

 

i think its best to type things out..although i am guilty of the occasional "lol"

 

I feel the same way Patrick, guilty once in a while with the LOL...not too often, but once evey so often..

WheelBrokerAng

 

Amanda...How many hours did it take you to type out all those?

WheelBrokerAng

How do you find the time to do those posts?

 

I actually had this list saved on my computer. Thank gosh!! I typed it out ONCE... and that was once too many. LMAO!!

~Amanda

 

it is so bad that kids at my school talked like that LAST year!

 

Something to save and required for those who are going to use the internet services for an extended period. I realize that there are many people who would want to make use of their services and need to do so for their own requirements. Unless we can speak on the language that makes all of us understand it wont be of any use. It was good therefore to make us known about these facts.
