After spending a good many years in the Navy, where tradition and necessity have created a unique language, it was easy to understand the need for internet jargon. A wordy writer takes too long to get the point across in chat rooms and messages. The initialisms evolved when messages included text only, before the handy little smilies came along. :rolleyes:
PPL KISS <G> = People keep it simple, silly (or stupid) "Grin"
There's a fairly brief, but useful list of common terms at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang.

Off topic: What does DH mean?
in Cruise Rituals
Posted
I was under the impression the "D" was for "Damn", except in the presence of the individual, when it became "Dear". Could use Dratted, Dumb, Dastardly, Delicious, Devine, Dagnabbed, Dizzy, or about any other D-word, I guess.
What are the choices?
DH - Husband
DW - Wife
DD - Daughter
DS - Son
DMIL/DFIL - In-laws
DGM/DGF - Grandparents
DGD/DGS - Grandkids
DT - Delirium Tremens
DA - Duck's Ass
DWD - Diddy-Wah-Diddy
The list goes on...
