hi chickies.
i hope you don´t laugh now.
as everyone knows, i am learning english at the moment and i really try my best.
but i have a question. LOL.

what does WTG mean?
i read it often in the forum but i cannot understand it....
help me, getting better :embaresse

[tamra]

Nina, your ok. It's an abbreviation for "Way To Go"! (woohoo, good job, ect.)

[chloe]

Okay, I'll answer this since I asked the exact same question 1 or 2 months ago!

WTG means way to go, in other words "good job, right direction, keep going!"... well, if I understood correctly the answer the chicks gave me a few months ago! LOL

The one that stumped me for a long time was kwim? Now that I know it, I use it a lot. Know What I Mean?

[ninascraps]

now i can use it too....i was not sure...
thanks

[Valgal]

Woohooo! Way to go!

Not laughing at all, proud of ya for asking actually :nerd:

Nina,
I've often wondered what it was like for people who didn't speak English to decipher all of the language we use. Not only is LOL or WTF or TFS (THanks for Sharing) English, they are English Acronyms!! People who don't use the internet or text messaging often don't know what they mean either!

By the way, I sent my husband a text message a while back and wrote BTW and NP in it. He was totally confused (By the way and No problem) and English is the only language he speaks!

Way to go to you (and Chloe and our other speakers of other languages) for taking part in a community in a language other than your own! Your presence here enrichs our community and makes us even better!!

I didn't know what KWIM was either til just recently, I thought it was just some kinda sound people were making!? I know, I'm not normal :)

[ninascraps]

LOL, i´ve learned a lot now here. thank you very much.
have to write it down.
great community here. i love it!!!

[AmberC]

Nina, me, speaking english, I still don't get all of them. LOL!!! I still have to ask waht some of them are?

[Cynnder]

there are just so many.... its impossible to remember them all... like
HTH...( hope that helps)..i can NEVER remember that one!

[ninascraps]

LOL. amber, i feel much better now!
often i don´t answer to questions or comments because i am not sure if it is right what i read.....;0)

[ninascraps]

ah yes. thanks! that was another one, i did not understand....LOL

[Lynn]

KWIM totally had me stumped for months KWIM? I agree it must be so hard for people who don't speak English. I got a lovely email from a French woman whose layout I had praised once saying "thank you but please to tell what is TFS?"

[ninascraps]

whohoooo, i am glad, that i am not alone! LOL

[AmberC]

Nina--never be affraid to ask!! :) We were all there at one point (I still am. :) ) I just had to ask about one the other day.

Nina, you certainly are not the only one in the dark! english is not my native language either, and most of times I just guess all those acronyms..like ROFLOL - rolling on the floor laughing out loud?
WTG, Nina!

It took me forever to figure out IIRC (if I remember correctly)...it still throws me some days!
