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. I am imagining where to find a
description of these terms. Somebody could indicate a site?

TLC, IMO, BTW...

I don't know about a site. However, Google is your friend.

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.

(and of course TLC may actually be an exception to that)
