I Have a Lot to Learn

I'm not in the texting scene at all - I really should be in a rocking chair on a porch somewhere smiling at the sunshine and flowers - but I'm not there yet. I'm thinking I'm going to have to learn this list of chat acronyms b/c it's listed with my school info. Oh Man!! I've colored the ones I know.

Funny how there's soooo many different extremes with this mt training. I've had to learn about computer operating systems, this list of chat acronyms, and what I thought was going to be the hardest part of the program - medical terminology! Who Knew!

CU - See you
CUL - See you Later
FAQ - Frequently Asked Question
FWIW - For what it's worth
FYI - For your information

The only other acronym I've used is one my mom taught me when I was little. On the back of an envelope I'd write S.W.A.L.C.A.K.D.S. Which stood for - Sealed With A Lick Cause A Kiss Doesn't Stick!! :)
