GTP TLAs explained (two / three letter acronyms)

[Ross]

Sorry for the double post but would "FR- Friend request" be one? I see this asked quite a lot.

 

[Skython]

Are you up to the Nurburgring tonight?

I may be a little late... About six months late... But you are correct. It took me while to translate it myself to see it you were... But I don't know... I think I might take ten points off you rather than give them to you... As only stupid people can speak it. But you're not stupid... So hmmm... Give or take? ... ...

You're lucky I'm feeling nice.

I think that took me a while to figure out as one of my OCD habits is correct grammar. And yay, 10 points to me. That's probably the longest time to reply that I've seen.

Ok, I'm having problems with the online lobby lingo.
I see a lot of racing rooms titled JDM-something, no idea what that means. I also don't know how a race can be "dirty" while "no bs" at the same time...

JDM is Japanese Domestic Market, which are cars that originate from Japan. The other one stumps scholars.

I've been getting infraction points by using ''btw'' I mean whats the point of this when you cant use these words?

No you didn't. You received an infraction for using "u" and for not using capitals, and because you've had warnings and infractions before for the same things.

[ITCC_Andrew]

What is ftfy? Getting confused here...

 

[axletramp]

fixed that for you

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Here's hoping AMG. adds it for future reference, then. Seems easy enough. It's past my bed time, so, I'm a bit tired.

^As made into a profile picture by my best friend...

 

[Saf1]

Can we also include GT lingo/jargon such as Hybrid cars? I thought it meant literally hybrid cars but it seems to refer to Hack cars (what I know them as from online)

 

[BobK]

That should go in a separate thread, no need to pollute this thread with that (very GT5-specific) debate.

Maybe WIP = Work in Progress?

 

[Saf1]

There's a few truncated words that get used not just for convenience but to fit as much as possible in the subject field for example trk for track.

 

[TB]

trk for track

That's just lazy.

 

[Saf1]

That's just lazy.

As I said, blame the max character limit! That said I send out LOTS of messages everyday so I use lots of those...message-msg etc, can;t think of other non-GT6 ones right now but txt spk saves time especially if you don't have a USB keyboard plugged in

Let us not forget, however, that "txt spk" is specifically against the AUP.

I was talking about on the PS3...I wouldn't need txt spk to fit a word in a browser field on PC

I guess we can now add GTS, Gran Turismo Sport.
