Wink Did you learn the 15 common acronyms your grandchildren use?

BTW, are you familiar with the 15 common acronyms that your grandchildren use? Here they are ICYMI in the newspaper. IMHO, it's probably TMI. But here it is: OMG, LOL, SMH, I just wanted to see if I could use them all in a short post. IDK if I'll be able to pull it off, but I'm willing to try. TYVM for taking the time to read this. ROFL, I really mean it, THK. ILY guys for putting up with this. You know I'm JK.

L8R, I mean TTYL.

Thanks----it's the new "shorthand" the kids are using. They quit teaching real shorthand and also real writing in school. It's a new world and it's changing everyday!

I remember asking my parents what snafu and sol stood for. They said that both were military acronyms.......snafu is "situation normal....all f-----d up",
sol is "s--- out of luck". Those have been around at least since WWII.
