In this list, some times I see acronyms that I do not understand, some I try to imagine. For the majority of the people who had not been born speaking English this also must be complicated.
Don't worry. Most off-line english-speaking people have no idea what most of these acronyms stand for. The reason is that a lot of them are specific to the IRC / forum / online culture.
