Acronyms and stuff

I seem to be the only one who dosen't understand acronyms and initialised words and phrases. It's very disconcerting to read a post or a whole thread where I find I don't understand what people are talking about because of acronyms and stuff. Is this just me being an old fogey who dosen't understand text speak  or something?

  • Bunny, thanks but my computer skills arn't up to what you suggest, I really am crap with computers, theres almost no begining to my skills!

    Autisician I don't think I have anything that does emoji's, I've certainly never used one and tend to ignore ones sent to me as I can't see them, I just decipher the text, but only a handful of people ever send me texts anyway. I'm still not entirely sure what a box followed by X means, it looks like oxo to me and I'm sure nobodies sending me stock cubes.
