Painting of the Month - 2b or not 2b ;-)

Here is our old friend William, his hobbies include cross stitching, growing gigantic courgettes and watching "The Great British Bake Off".  He is a true believer in moving with the times. He is impressed by text shorthand, chat acronyms and netlingo. He appreciates the use of such cryptic codes as, SWAK, 420 and ,!!!! Although, there are moments when he too is at a loss....  Does anyone really use AFAHMASP?

The twitter thing has really taken his fancy, he was inspired by Mr Bluebird, all day long he would hear him tweet, and then it came to him... 2B or not 2B;-)

BTW, there is also this thing called netiquette, but I digress.

A nickname for abbreviations of words used primarily in [[chat room|chat rooms]] and while texting or instant messaging, chat acronyms are popular on the Internet as a modern day type of shorthand for common phrases. This type of shorthand is also seen in e-mail messages, [[text message|text messages]], newsgroup postings, [[discussion board|discussion boards]], and in the media in general. One reason acronyms and shorthand are used so widely is that it's quicker and easier to type a few letters rather than to type the full expression. They're fun (but they can also be naughty)! - See more at: http://www.netlingo.com/word/chat-acronym-or-chat-acronyms.php#sthash.X38T1Y7R.dpuf
