Chat-sanasto ja lyhenteet

Kirjoittamisen helpottamiseksi monet keskustelijat käyttävät erilaisia lyhenteitä ilmaisemaan tunnetiloja ja lauseita. Monet chatissa käytetyistä lyhenteistä ovat maailmanlaajuisesti käytössä. Seuraavat lyhenteet merkityksineen ovat yleisimpiä. Kattavamman listauksen löydät WBS Chat Book -linkistä, johon on koottu lyhenteiden lisäksi myös yleisimpiä hymiöitä.
