A useful site for the unilingual

By admin

Here’s an interesting site I discovered on the weekend.

Teen Chat Acronym Decoder

Ever wonder what your child is really saying online?

From the site:

“As parents, when our kids started to use the Internet more and more, we did what any good parent would do ? we monitored their online activity.

We reviewed their browser history, or some parental control software product like PC Tattletale. But it was really frustrating when we found that our kids used abbreviations and acronyms in when chatting online or via their cell phones.

Now some acronyms are pretty easy to figure out, like ?LOL? (Laugh Out Loud), but many made no sense at all ? unless you were 15!

So several years ago we put together what would eventually become the largest ?Teen Acronym Only? database on the net. Teen Chat Decoder was designed to help parents understand what their kids were ?really? saying online and to help keep them safe.

Just start typing the term you wish to search for below. When you do, our teen chat term database will automatically start to display all possible results for your search.”

I’ve actually needed this!
