Reminds me of a song:

I got an SMS
It said "OMG IDK WTF"
Oh my god, I don't know, what the fuck
OMG, IDK or WTF mean

:(

I'm not great at it either, I'm old. These kids and their new fangled language :(

But I spend too much time online and I've picked up a lot.

Most people I speak with don't use much internet speak, save for the basics. I wouldn't worry unless it really prevents you from effectively communicating or understanding what your friends are saying.

Completely normal. I'm twenty, but I'd like to consider myself a bit of an old soul. I like spelling my words out, only abbreviating sometimes. I've mastered the basics but there are some newer ones that I'm starting to see and I have no idea what they mean.

I used to like internet speak but then I started prefering normal grammar. I still use tumblr words though.

    Yes it is an HTML code. It either seeped through and was displayed instead of interpreted as a break or a person used it as a geeky way of saying break. Eg gimme a <br>. Never seen it used though.

      I see it on IIN a lot - if you edit your comment, it puts everything in one big paragraph and substitutes the breaks for <BR><BR>
      
      Tis fucking annoying :/ And I guess sometimes people forget to edit it out.

        Slightly - but the PCP I inject into my balls every morning seems to get me thru the day. I work at the apple store giving handjobs.

I know your pain. When I first started texting and interacting on the internet, I was assaulted with this "slang" that I wasn't familiar with. I'm sure my friends thought there was something wrong with me when I asked them what so and so meant. With time I learned but there are still some forms of lingo that confuse me.

If you need any help with slang you could always go on Urban Dictionary:)
