Is it just me or does it take anyone else twice as long to decipher messages and postings that have masses of acronyms?

yes, those acronyms are supposed to save time but they take me an insane amount of time spent guessing, but then, as my teenage youngsters keep telling me, I AM NOT COOL.

Rather just type it in full to be honest, to me it shows a lack of intelligence that you cant be bothered having a proper conversation without shortening everything down, just dumbing down the nation.

Oh and no cake for you Sooty unless you share

TDWD The Dictionary will disappear.
How banal that no one can take the time to write correctly and use these rather ridiculous abbreviations, which as been said take twice as long to decipher or guess than actually putting down the word.
Cool or not I prefer to see the full written word, but I am guilty of using brb and lol when in the chat room as everyone else seems to.
