Help! I found a glossary but I'm not finding anything to decipher all the abbreviations I find in the threads. Is there a list?

I think there are abbreviations buried in the glossary thread - which looks like you already found.
Which ones have you stumped? And, yes, there is all new vocab to learn in poly! There will be a quiz too. ![]() |

Depends what kind of abbreviations are stumping you.
Wiktionary has web abbreviations: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Internet_slang I have a really big glossary with all kinds of poly slang and abbreviations: http://polyamoryonline.org/smf/index...43140#msg43140 Like opalescent said, let us know which abbreviations are stumping you and we can maybe be of better help.

I am rather caught up on the lingo, however, I still dont think its cute..and I hate it.. however, it seems people are no longer educated in the art of writting full sentences..boy we have become a lazy society since we now feel the need to abbreviate and shorten everything when we communicate. I just dont bother reading posts that have tons of abbreviations as a personal choice because I feel if someone cant be bothered to type it all..they probably are not worth reading.

I'm usually pretty good about writing out whatever it is that I want to say. And what I don't like is the way iPhone texting has led to a raging popularity for writing like a dum-a-quad. It's juvenile and uncivilized. "ur not doin it rite!"
Still, I try not to totally reject fad and fashion, and will throw in a "cute" abbreviation here or there. I mean, how many people are there who've never used "LOL" before -- amirite? I don't mind occasional abbreviations as long as it's not every other word. And I really, reeeally like proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. Ahhh! Feels so nice. I mean I'll fudge grammar on occasion, but only when I have some special reason for it. Like now and then I'll hit a sentence that actually seems more readable with an incorrect grammatical turn. But I try to obey enough rules to get at least a 90% grade in middle school. Anyway, welcome to the downfall of English, eh? I hope it survives all these lazy shenanigans.
