I feel embarassingly ignorant! Only got on to internet last october, and having been here in Italy for so long, while i'm quite good at Italian text abbreviations, I'm hopeless at English ones! Can anyone please translate the ones most commonly used on downsizer for me? Or tell me if there's some sort of dictionary?!! I feel I'm missing out!! BTW is about as far as I go

Thank you both ! You're right Jema, there aren't many on downsizer, but being a nosey so-and-so it was annoying me when I came across one and didn't know what it meant!

If all else fails - make it up - the oldies will think your on the ball and the younger ones will think they have missed something....
