Chat Acronym Chart O-S

Questgems Chat acronym Chart

Acronym Chart O-S for E-mail and Instant Messaging
Pages are @-D, E-I, J-N, O-S and T-Z

     The primary reason for including this chart on Questgems is to provide a means for parents to understand what their children are saying and receiving in their instant messaging and e-mails. I have compiled it from many sources, and of course, no list is complete. Copying this complete set of charts from A through Z will probably fill about 65 pages unle4ss you reduce the font size. My original chart had several typos. Hopefully most, but probably not all, have been corrected.
     E-Mail and Instant messaging acronyms are the sets of characters that many people use to stand for phrases, generally common ones. I suggest you learn the ones you often see in the messages you receive or wish to use in ones you send. Generally, you can use either upper case or lower case letters.
