I was considering creating the Second Life group, S.L.R.P.P.A. Second Life Residents for the Prevention of Proliferation of Acronym's

Perhaps a good idea and thank you for translating your shorthand :smileyvery-happy: :smileyvery-happy:

I will join that group.  Acronyms are a headache for no-English speakers

@Irene: Would you like to join my anti-BDSM group Second Lifers Against Pain?

When Daria/Amethyst/Amy was posting in the old GD forums I would frequently find myself looking things up here:

When I first started in Second Life, I was really lost on internet slang. I didn't know much more than LOL... actually I think that's all I knew :smileyvery-happy:

Since then I've become fairly proficient, I've picked up a lot! TL;DR BRB AFK TY YW KK etc.

I think I had to ask each one what it meant as people used them to learn. "Excuse me what does that mean?"

It's something to get used to but just part of the culture here in Second Life.
