Not music related, but this is very helpful when it comes to abbreviations used in texting and posting
Using abbreviations to save time and character count on texts and posts goes back to the days when no one thought we’d need more than 140 characters to express ourselves. The earliest have to be LOL (laugh out loud), IMHO (in my humble opinion), and ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing).
Today, though, it’s tough to keep up with all the shortened expressions. A site called Unscrambler (great for Scrabble, Words with Friends, etc.) did some research on the most-searched texting abbreviations in Canada. Bookmark this.
