Re: (LOL)/ABBREVIATIONS

Hi .. I have had a son as an exchage student in Montana last school year
... he learn a bit :) .... and he said you are crazy to use these things ..
sometime mails a 'chinese' to me! And I really wonder if this is something
you also say when you speak to each other or just by writing????
Well well ... languages will always be in change .. and since this question
came from a 'native' I suppose it is not changing too quickly?

Here is some of the shorthands he learnd ... ehe .. nice to teach you in
English from Norway! ;D
