Exactly what I need right now! Sometimes I wanna search up what the meanings of these kind of words: brb, smh, irl, oomfs. But the more I find those words on Twitter, I just understand by myself.

OMG, MY COMMENT GOT LOVE FROM MARINA! AAAK! THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU, MARINA! THIS IS EXCITING CUZ HONESTLY I WATCH YOUR VIDEO SILENTLY WITHOUT COMMENTING ANYTHING, BUT NOW.... I'M SUPER EXCITED!

Also, another word used in writing a lot is DITTO, meaning “the same.” So instead of repeating yourself, you are just saying ditto. Definitely, I did not know the word, and when I first got contact with this word, I started google it. Now, I use it like a pro. Hello from Florida.
