Chat shorthand/acronyms/abbreviations
Sometimes called leet-speak
OK moms and dads, you need to know some of these,
especially the Top 40 Parents Must Know list,
so you are not k13w13$$ (clueless) when reviewing
your kids coded language used for instant and text messaging, chat and emails.
You will find the larger, Consolidated list following the Top 40. Many of
the more important abbreviations are in a larger font and or
highlighted. A few would be considered vulgar (but
they are not spelled out).
Consider printing, both, the Top 40 list and the
Consolidated list and keep them handy for reviewing your kids coded
language used for instant and text messaging, chat, and emails.

Consolidated list
If any of the Top 40 show up
in your kids chat sessions, emails, etc., immediately find out
what is going on! Dont jump to conclusions, but find out.
