Chat Slang

Chat Slang


  • Chat slang or netspeak is a method of typing long words and phrases as short one-to-four letter words and is also used by people who have difficulties spelling. For example, instead of typing out "are", someone may only type "r." Although chat slang can be easier for you and sometimes faster to type, it makes it difficult to read and cause people to ignore you. Below, is an example of someone saying "Are you smart because I need someone smart".

    r u smart bcoz i need some1 smart
