Thread: Gotta, gonna, wanna and etc...

What this words are mean?
gotta

Tnaks.

gotta = got to. I've gotta = I have got to = I have to = I must. мне надо. Usually people write I gotta instead of I've gotta.

wanna = want to
gonna = going to

lol = laughs out loud (used on the internet like: )
lil = little (usually, i think)

не за что

And other question.
In many russian forums (for example, my favorite forum http://www.nn.ru/community/gorod/) peoples using sentence IMHO, that it means In My Humble Opinion.
I was surprise at this forum I have not found the given sentence.
Why?

Some other internet abbreviations:

AFAIK: As Far As I Know
IIRC: If I Recall Correctly
ROFLMAO: Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off
IM(H)O: In My (Humble) Opinion
TBH: To Be Honest

Some more examples of "shorthand" spelling or misspelling you can meet on the 'Net:

Sup and wazzup = what's up
Prolly = probably
y = why
n e = any
ne1 = anyone
w8=wait
m8=mate
gr8=great (well, the last 3 ones border on the "1337-talk", which is a separate subject)
cya = see you
2 = to and too
u = you
ur= your
On the Net, this kind of shorthand is used mostly by kids, younger teens and/or non-educated people.


Abbreviations:

HTH = hope this helps (e.g. after you answer someone's question)

Besides ROFLMAO (see above) people often use ROFL and LMAO.
