For us old people not in tune with what the younger generation is up to especially when discussing texting.  I have often wondered how they can click those keys and suddenly begin laughing at the return text and then one day I looked over a shoulder and saw that they were not spelling out real words in most cases, but that they has some sort of secret code they were using.  It made me wonder also just how everyone out there had discovered this code and were using it.  How did the word spread so quickly?

Last Christmas Sherry and I ran into these little “code” books that told us what things like “lol” meant, or “lmao” stood for…that list goes on.

I discovered this web site that will help us all and I hope if you are one of the minority, like me, who don’t know the secret code that this site will help you to better understand what someone is saying if you ever get a text with all the garbeldygoop written in it.  It might take you a while to figure it out in order to respond back, but at least you will be able to.

Put it in your favorites or bookmarks or whatever it is called where you can click on it and look for the sites you like to visit on occation.  This one might get used a lot!
