Svi oni koji ne razumiju današnju mladež i njihov način komunikacije putem raznih mobilnih aplikacija i internetskih servisa, od sada pomoć mogu potražiti u Oxfordovom rječniku.

Njegova najnovija inačica sadrži, uz 170 novih pojmova iz svijeta tehnologije, i brojne kratice koje su danas već gotovo ušle u mainstream.

Internetski sleng postao je dio naših života, a korisnici u pokretu izmišljaju kratice kako bi uštedjeli na vremenu dok tipkaju poruke – kažu autori ovog rječnika. I dok dobro služe upravo da bi se brže tipkalo, njihovo razumijevanje postaje sve teže. U Oxfordu su izdvojili 25 takvih kratica za koje smatraju da su već postale službeno prepoznate. U nastavku ih donosimo uz službena pojašnjenja.
