Taking this out of the n00b guide and into it's own separate thread.
What is considered to be acceptable acronym and what is without a doubt n00bspeak?
Acceptable Acronyms:
lol
roflmao
rofl
wtf
wth
omg
brb
brt
wc
roflmaopip
n00bspeak:
U
UR
R
l0lz
teh
t3h
th3
r0x0rz
s0x0rz
sux
momz
ne1
ru
plz!
1337
h4x0rz
Also any bastardization of any word where the individual substitutes a number for a letter or inputs the letter Z for s.
Examples m0mz, f4rm, th3, 101z.
However do not just assume that someone with bad typing skills is a n00b. We all have made typos and some people don't know how to spell a word. When in doubt run away.
Feel free to add and discuss, argue or debate what you consider to be acceptable and unacceptable communication skills.
