Get the chatspeakmug. I coined the word chatspeak in a published article (Glendale News Press, CA) in October of 1998.
Originally chatspeak was the abbreviated language used in online chatrooms, and it has now evolved into the abbreviated language used in texting and tweeting.
Here is the beginning of the op-ed piece I wrote in 1998:
CHATSPEAK ARRIVES
I was writing a memo at work the other day, and I wanted to make sure the recipient knew I was kidding. So I followed the sentence with lol.
And I froze.
omg, I thought.
That was the precise moment I realized how chatspeak was creeping into my every-day vocabulary.
And I wondered how long it would take this cybershorthand to sneak into everyone’s language.
Like like.
By my calculation, it took about 15 years for like to make it from Valspeak to the general population.
Er, …perhaps this would be a good place to stop and explain to the uninitiated.
Lol is short for laughing out loud; and omg is short for omigod, which is short for, like, Oh My God!
These terms have evolved during the past few years among those who visit chat rooms online. A form of shorthand is necessary because there's limited space and time to write your comments.

Get the chatspeakmug. A popular internet vernacular used in forums, chat rooms, instant messages, text messages, and online games.
The features of the vernacular include deliberate shortenings of words and acronyms in order to communicate with as few characters as possible.
Punctuation, capitalization, and less intuitive spelling is usually left out for the purposes of increasing the efficiency of communication.
Chatspeak also includes some slang terms from popular internet fads which are usually intended to be humorous.

Get the chatspeakmug. Abbreviations and bastardizations of certain words, used mainly on Instant Messengers. It was developed to allow those people who can't type 1000 words per minute to wrote and send out their thoughts with reasonable speed.
Standards include: lol, brb, gf/bf, ily, lmao, rofl, cuz, wat, h8, ne1, etc.
Standards include: lol, brb, gf/bf, ily, lmao, rofl, cuz, wat, h8, ne1, etc.
Scenario without chatspeak:
Person 1: I hate you.
Pause while person types out follow-up.
Person 2: What?!?! I gave you my life! *picks up gun and shoots self*
Person 1: You didn't tell me you got a girlfriend!
Scenario with chatspeak:
Person 1: I h8 u
Pause too short to allow Person 2 to make any premature assumptions.
Person 1: u ddnt tel me you got a gf!
Person 2: oh, i was worried there for a min.

Get the chatspeakmug. Chatspeak, aka netspeak. This is a form of speech in which one shortens words and replaces the letter "s" with the letter "z" in an effort to save time and look cool. Chatspeakers also rarely use capitalization or correct punctuation.
Chatspeakers are generally looked down on by people who can actually spell and who have enough self-respect to type out a real sentence.
Chatspeak can never be considered 'literate.'
Examples:
Boys- Boiz
Girls- girlz, grlz, grrlz, gurlz
Mate- m8
Skater- sk8er
You- u
Are- r
Tonight- 2nite
Because- Bcuz
Et cetera.
