The terms in the virtual world really confusing and really exciting.
the early days when I started chatting I often use a phrase that should be in short with 3 letters.

"I'll back ya ..." -> Kl easier shortened to 'brb' which means' Be Right Back ", and still another bunch of terms that need to be me or you need to know.
