OMG,LOL,and FYI are now oft ten used in Twitter and SMS texts among teenagers. These online abbreviations are officially approved as NEW WORD in the Offord English Dictionary(OED). In the latest edition of the OED,new words such as "ego-surfing" and "five-second rule"

When I was in Canada, many of my friends was using words above,especially,OMG and LOL in text messages and MSN(online chatting). I had no idea what these word mean for the first time. But now,I'm using them a lot to save time and spaces to type.
Now,I remember I also used to use "brb" and "ttyl"as well.(Guess what they mean;) )
I think these abbreviation are pretty useful when chatting and texting,but those of you who are not really familiar with English do not need to "abuse" them.It is always important to use proper words in a proper occasion:) Same thing can be said to Japanese.
