I can't tell you how much I agree with what you're saying.
Unfortunately there will always be those that will not only
have no empathy for the new comer but aggravate the situation
by being self appointed introducers of new acronyms and
espouse "it's too hard" to type it all out.

Sometime ago I figured there was no stopping the chaos
so decided to try and document the lexicon morphing anarchy.
(can change it so joined in)

So, while "short cuts" will continue .....here is a list of "semi" commonly used achronyms.
Hope it's helpful. Or should I save time and say, "U B say'n the truth and U R 2 B thanked" for raising the issue.

Acronym List is Here
