Well learning all these MSN-language isn't a bad thing but just DON'T get too deep into it...
Otherwise, one day it would end up like the Mars-Language we usually see amongst Taiwanese...
The Mars-Lang and MSN-Lang are similar things (both begins with M *smirk*...) They take the pronounciation in priority than meaning, while some others are short-forms that, can actually represent anything.
e.g. fu = fool / f**k you; np = no problem / nice play.
So, it is still a better idea to learn formal and proper English =)
well......the shorten words we put are a part of the MSN-language....and.....unless there's an official dictionary about it, nothing is definitely right (or wrong).
as long as people can identify what word the person is using, it's not a big problem...
[I thought the purpose of this thread is to teach people what those shortened words stands for anyway...]
Another one commonly used between my friends and I (Kiwi-style?)
C'mon = come on!!!
