But lemme tell u that if I jump on every post that contains u instead of you, even though I may wanna do, we'd have few members left!

YYSSW and LMAO.

AFAIK and IIRC, this coming from a person who, alongwith others, regularly uses these - AFAIK and IIRC, that is. TMAW to figure out the latter!

A Week?

You could have googled for it!

And why Anti-Tank Bomb?

this is the internet. WWW, worthy successor of Usenet and all that --- so Internet abbreviations are allowed

But they are a laziness, and I think I should use them less

A While.

All the best.

PS:
W'sTD, BTW, between Internet and Short Message Service (hey, U asked for it, let's be propah) English?

TWARQ (that was a rhetorical Q), I'll answer it myself - None!
Splitting hairs is what it is, if folks see a difference - too many people can't make out internet acronyms (all RIGHT! I know - abbreviations

), so there's no difference materially. Other than that, it's just bias against one form of technology over another.
