As per rule 5b, (click here) 'Text speak' isn't allowed on the forum, so abbreviations like "C U L8R", "b4", "M8", etc are out. We do however support 'chat speak' - this originally comes from internet chat rooms so its use is natural here.
'Chat speak' abbreviates a group of words by using the first letter of each word. Have a look through our most commonly used examples below, and you'll soon get the hang of it:
