The new world of online bingo has come to develop a particular type of lingo.
These are primarily abbreviations of various short phrases or shorter ways of spelling words.
These short spelling of words however, are not in keeping with English grammar and hence not
synchronized with formal English.
These abbreviations and word spelling variations can also be considered as slang.Nonetheless, this kind of lingo is very helpful for chatting purposes as it saves you a lot of time which you would otherwise need to type!
It is also considered trendy and widely used in mobile messages, informal chat and especially in bingo chat rooms.
