Laziness - the engine of progress in English

R = are
U = you
Y = yes
N = no, and
C = see
= At
# = Number

Also used for abbreviations and numbers are usually to replace them consonant syllable. See: the number 2 sounds like [that], thus using vysheprevedennye reduction inscription: CU 2DAY [si yu tudey] = See you today? – See you today?

As an option – 2MORO [temorou] (where the last O is read as [oy]). In the case of two, using 4 ([FD:] = four = for, for example, in terms of Bye for now-B4N) and even 8 (for example, in the word Later: L8TR). By the way, you've noticed often overlooked addition vowels, which are not under stress.

In addition to these reductions are very frequent reductions-initials. Their number rostet every day, and they use even when communicating in the forums in Russian. For example, often can be found:

IMHO – "In My HumbleHonest Opinion" – "in my opinion skromnomuchestnomu.
BTW – by the way "the way"
TTFN – ta ta for now "Well, all the while."
ROFL rolling on the floor laughing "so I laugh that rolled on the floor"
LOL laughing out loud "loud, loud, laugh"

Dear Vla-di-mir! I've noticed (not once) that in your  interesting forum topics you often write some unclear (for not Russians) words such as vysheprevedennye :) and so on… I see that you translate your texts with the help  of the on-line translator or smth like that… :o), it's not bad, but ppl from other countries may not understand some separate words…

I'm sorry if I'm not right. And I wish you good luck!!! Smile
