afk = away from keyboard, afaik = as far as I know, iirc = If I recall correctly. :-P It's more common in the kind of chat and message groups that debate a lot, like religion, politics, and the like...
yes word/letter combinations are very annoying...there's no point. Especially for intelligent adults that do it, just spell out "are you" instead of " r u" for god sakes lol
I don't mind lol, afk, afaik, iirc, and other abbreviations that are widely known conventions. I hate the unconventional ones, like "fnly gng i sps" (an actual text message from last week).
Most of the abbreviations annoy me, as do the number-words. They're just silly and it's not that hard to type normally. I also don't like when people don't capitalize proper nouns, but I'm more forgiving of that.
I say ALL of the above, I hate online chatting.
I see.... cool... thanks :)
Don't bother ne1.

The lack of proper spelling and how people sometimes use so called "chat speak" in daily lives
