A list of abbreviations for non-english native speakers

[Asiadeep]

Thanks for putting it up. Helps considerably.

I think that if this topic is for non-native english speaking ppl....most of those abbreviations are going to be pretty confusing! You should stick to simple ones for now, maybe.

Take a look here: Many speak at a native level, but many do not. The ability to communicate with people who speak a limited amount of English is actually a skill that can be developed over time with practice

I just saw that list and man . I think every little colloquial phrase in the english language has been acronymed on that list. It has been over done. I mean. Here's one for you that you haven't gotten on that list. it's NMA! yeah. can you guess what that one is? well it stands for NO MORE ACRONYMS! I mean it. Acronyms have become over done with. They are becoming grossly gibberish. I could've thrown up and mellow the carpet around me after seeing that "chat abbreviations.txt" profane list of acronyms. ugh! you might as well just take out all the vowels of every word you type and make sense out of that as you read it. blah!

here goes: Se frm rls blw fr mr nfrmtn abt wht cds yu r alwd to ys n yr psts.

Now there's your perspicuous sentence with NMA.

that really got me LMAO (i did that inentionally haha)

Anyone who has any language skill can get their point across in a non-native language. Some people I can understand just fine who have heavy accents and barely speak English, because they at least know how to compose a Latin sentence, but some people just spout random nouns and verbs in no particular order and expect people to understand them. Reading bad English is a different story. It should NOT be tolerated here.

IMHO - In my honest opinion
AFAIK - As far as I know
