 This is a small FAQ that deals with the most common online chat or 
 regular talk abbreviations.

 Most online users have used one or more of the following,the main
 reason is because they are using the control pad and don't want
 to type or don't own a keyboard.

 You may have also notice that most playersput something like "ty"
 on their shortcuts.
 Why not just type "thank you"?.
 The main reason for this is because they may use it in the middle of 
 action and don't want to fill the screen with chat bubbles.

 This is a small collection of the most common abbreviations.
 I will include the ones left off on the next update.
