The shortened or condensed version of '
maybe' -- perhaps, possibly, a possibility or uncertainty -- usually associated with and implemented in online chatting,
texting, posting, blogging, etc...
}}} Much the same as a foreign language or shorthand would be to someone not familiar with it, online language such as this is often hard to decipher and understand for those unaccustomed to the use of it. Commonly thought to be rather irritating to those who prefer to type whole words, sometimes fanatically insisting that everyone should use the correct punctuation as well, and is mistakenly generally associated with a lower
intelligence level many times as such
may indicate in some situations that a person
may not have such a great ability to spell words correctly. Many times it is not due to the inability of the person utilizing this shortened version of words and has nothing to do with their intelligence level. Rather, it is a personal
choice to type in this manner and
may actually be a sign of higher intelligence as the typer is actually able to understand, decipher, and interpret the shortened versions of words written in this manner. {{{
