However, sometimes we might see

a lot of words on the Internet

that we’re not so familiar with

among them are the acronyms

You know it’s not real English vocabulary

they’re just letters put together

to form somewhat of a word

But what do they mean?!

What do YOU (acronyms) mean?!

What do you mean~~~

So today I’ll be introducing

some really common and popular acronyms

that people normally use
