Chat slang 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", a user may only type "r". Although chat slang can be easier for you and sometimes faster to type, it makes reading what you're saying much more difficult and will usually 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

When chatting or typing anything on the Internet, unless you're talking to another user who uses chat slang we highly suggest you type out the full words and always try to use proper capitalization and punctuation. Although this may take more time to type it will save time for all the other users reading it. One exception to this rule is users using text messaging or any messaging services sent over cell phones or other devices that do not have their own keyboard.
