Internet dan social networking atau jejaring sosial yang merupakan ajang pergaulan secara maya telah mempengaruhi banyak hal. Selain perilaku penggunaan komputer dan perangkat bergerak semisal ponsel, bahasa dalam pergaulan maya pun mempunyai kekhasan sendiri. Mungkin karena sifatnya yang serba cepat, sehingga orang cenderung ingin menuliskannya dengan singkatan.
Cobalah masuk ke forum atau milis yang sangat aktif bertukar informasi atau berinteraksi di antara anggotanya, pasti terselip satu dua singkatan (dalam bahasa Inggris) yang membuat bingung kalau belum terbiasa.
