Abbreviations and kewl talk reminder

What does Rm w/a vu mean?
Room with a view. I think it's suppose to be like cause Cordelia finds the ad in a newspaper. And I think ads charge by the letter so people try to use the least amount of letters to spell out the message. W/a means with a, w/o is with out. I still don't like it though. I don't think any other episode had word spelling in the title.
 
I use "LOL" a lot when someone makes me laugh. But other than that, I don't abbreviate unless I'm texting on the phone.

*Edit* I take that back, I may have used "IIRC". I'll stop using it.
 
🙄 is better. 🙄 is one of the best things in BB, and one of the best things invented by human beings.🙄
No, I hate 🙄 and 😉 as much as I hate "kewl" "TXT" talk. At least we have a rule against U people and UR abbrev.

Just need to ban them damn smileys too!

Now why would you hate 🙄 & 😵.
That makes me go 😱. As I see it a lot of people like them 😀
 
Ooooooh! I thought we only did that with SMG? Good to know 🙂
I think like SMG and DB are more acceptable, but I'm not a mod and don't enforce the rules. I've seen it done with CC, AH, NB, JM & AH in the past. It can be confusing sometimes; especially when people also abbreviate board members names.

I'm glad people here aware of the amount of non-native English speakers here! I'm a non-native myself and I remember that I used to struggle a lot with this kind of stuff back in the day! It took me years to figure out the difference between your and you're because people made those mistakes too often.

I see this a lot with my students as well though, because they are writing in English (as a foreign language) and they use slang and abbreviations and don't realize it is incorrect. For example tho instead of though.

Do people abbreviate board member names as well? Lol, I'm apparently not paying enough attention!

I think they do. I've seen a few and it really confused me. I forget who the member was but the abbreviation was MT and I thought for sure they were talking about Michelle Trachtenberg, it was really confusing.

I think it would be really hard for non-English speakers. I would have never guessed you were though.
