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.
