 Internet korisnici stvaraju potpuno nov način pisanja engleskog jezika. U e-mailovima, na forumima i chatovima zbog bržeg pisanja nastaje sve više čudnih ali interesantnih skraćenica.

Ako se koristite ovim servisima trebali biste znati najčešće skraćenice kako biste mogli shvatiti "šta je pisac htio da kaže".

Ali zapamtite, ove skraćenice koristite samo u razgovoru sa prijateljima. One se obično ne koriste u ozbiljnim pismima niti na školskim ispitima. Ako na pismenom iz engleskog jezika napišete nešto poput:

aamof icbw, iykwim (as a matter of fact I could be wrong, If you know what I mean),

profesorica će vjerovatno napisati nešto poput:

ruok? (are you ok?), uz prepoznatljivu ocjenu :).
