If I can help it I normally always spell stuff out, but some of my friends abbreviate everything. In the beginning I was convinced we spoke a different language

. Luckily they never got angry when I didn't get stuff and just asked but I guess it's normal then that I adapted a bit. Now when someone writes something abbreviated I keep it for the duration of the conversation and then write longer again afterwards... It's always best to ask what some abbreviations mean rather than to stay confused.
Anyways. It's past midnight here so I'll be heading off soon. Goodnight!
