Wallace SC&W On-Line Chat Abbreviations   My 12 year old is learning a new language, texting.  But he is not just learning it to use on the phone, he speaks it. Much of what he says or what I see other places I understand but some of it is a mystery.   Do you wonder what all the text abbreviations are about? Whether you like the “new language” or not it is something that we need to understand in order to talk with many today.  So here are a few abbreviations and some sites where you can look up the meaning of that message someone sent you.   Webopedia: http://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/textmessageabbreviations.asp   SearchCRM.com: http://searchcrm.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid11_gci211776,00.html   Netlingo: http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm   Webwasp: http://www.webwasp.co.uk/define/SMS-text/index.php   Tranl8it!
