receive a lot of instant messages (IMs), e-mails and text messages
or if you visit chat rooms, message boards or discussion boards on
a regular basis, this tip is just for you! When you're dealing with
those kinds of things, you may not realize how much Internet shorthand
is going on, but it's everywhere these days. And if you are not up
to par on your shorthand game, you could get loss in all of the madness.
At the same time, you may not be able to be a part of the action or
excitement if you don’t know the shorthand lingo.

come across from time to time. If you use any of the things I mentioned
