ROFLMAO!

I recently discovered this gem of a site, which is on a mission to rid the world of internet slang and teach kids about proper English, or failing that (which they certainly will), to educate parents about what their kids are blathering on about in chatrooms. Some particularity enjoyable quotes from the FAQ page:

What does this site do?
No Slang.com is a translator similar to those offered by Google or AltaVista with one major difference: We don't translate language, we translate slang and acronyms.

You know, those weird acronyms your kids use; things like lol, idk, rotflmfao, bbiab, and those stupid alternate spellings like kewl, dood, ur, and thanx. We hate those, and have made it our life's goal to educate people about proper grammar.

Who started this site?
No Slang.com was started in 2005 by Ryan Jones (a PHP coder / SEO from Michigan) after talking to his Boss's kids on AOL Instant Messenger and not being able to understand a damn thing they were typing. After much research (and free child labor) he compiled a database of over 1000 slang terms, and continues to add new ones every day.

There is also an area where you can add your own Internet slang to the site, I took it upon myself to add POC (people/person of colour) and GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgenderd). While these are not terms exclusive to the Internet, they do come up quite often in chatrooms and message boards, so I thought they might be helpful.

However, as amusing and helpful as I found noslang.com, this site took the cake. That's right now you too can speak just like a 12 AOLer! Just for the fun of it I translated the lyrics of Talking Heads, Once in a lifetime.
