Online conversations tend not to abide by the general rules of communication. Even if there is a sender sending a message to a receiver, the message is not always conveyed in a very clear code (language).
The code of online conversations became difficult for any translator dedicated to their work the moment when acronyms came into use. These abbreviations, most of them formed only from initials, quickly replaced a lot of words, phrases or even sentences. A good translator must be up to date on the constant changes appearing in the structure of the online language.
In order to better understand the complexity of these codes, we suggest you take a look at the following list of acronyms:
