I hate using shortcuts such as hru, sm1, gr8, etc. in sms, chats. Still there are some selective ones which I use such as ttyl, asl and kit. I use asl as everyone else does for getting a stranger's introduction during online chats (which I seldom do). But last week happened a strange but funny incident.
Read this small conversation…..
Italiano (name changed): Hey!
Ro: who is this?
Italiano: I am from
Ro: not interested.
Italino:
Ro:
Italiano: Can I chat with you.
Ro: Tell me a thing first, how did you get my id?
Italiano: yahoo directory
Ro: I see.
Italiano: Can I chat with you.
Ro: (thinking)
Italiano: ??
Ro: (thinking)
Italiano:
Ro: ok.
Italiano:
Ro:
ASL plz.
Italiano: asl means???????????????
Ro: Are you new to chat?
Italiano: asl means???????????????
Ro: Age Sex Location
Italiano:
Ro: (
what did I write wrong. Let me see again what we talked. Why this blushing symbol.) What was there to be Blushing in it?Italiano: Hmmmm, You are naughty.
Ro: Don’t be fishy with me.
Italiano:
Ro:
Why this symbol? Is anything funny going on here?Italiano: No you said na “Sex Location”. You are very naughty
Ro: (grrrrrrrrr kit kit kit kit kit)
Ro has signed out!!!
Lesson learnt: “Never use shortcuts with strangers. NEVER!!!”
Thought it was annoying to me at the time but I remember I smiled so many times after signing out thinking about the incident. And even now when I am writing this post I am smiling again. Now the scene is that anytime I read the word “ASL” I am rofl. Rofl means rolling on the floor laughing
. I wsh I m nt wrtng shrtcts nymre. 
Before ending this post a strong advice….avoid using shortcuts with those who you don’t know, else my best wishes with you.
CA (Come Again).
