Well, The list is long and cool. But, how much helpful is it for me..I’m not sure. My typing speed is good so, I make less use of these abbreviations. BRB is the most used Abbreviation by me….and I don’t think of any other apart from this

I type 60 to 70 words per minute on average, so I rarely use abbreviations at all. I don’t even use them on IMs. People ask me why and I really don’t want to go into an explanation each time. I will now though. I learned to type on a manual typewriter in high school back in 1974. I spent my first two years (1979-1981) in the military typing various documents for the CO (fitness reports, naval messages, publications, etc.). Just the practice caused me to pick up speed. So… why abbreviate when I can type the phrase faster than most people can type the abbreviation.

RT,
People who have learned typewriter will have good speed and wont use abbreviations. You have great speed with typing. Although I have only average speed, I rarely use abbreviations.
