Improving your dealer chat skills

There was an article in the local paper the other day about the most commonly used texting acronyms. It’s a very long list!

The kids these days are pretty much talking in code, and if you know the code your thumb can be a faster way of getting the message across than your mouth.

Then the realisation hit…what a great way to speed up dealer chat. I mean it’s OK for the dealers, they get to use their mouths. Players on the other hand have to type and I suspect there’s probably a lot of one or two finger keyboard bashing going on out there making participation a meaningful conversation rather difficult (the current conversation…not the one that happened during the last deal).

So, here’s what’s proposed. To enhance player-dealer communication, the list of commonly used texting acronyms be universally adopted as the industry standard. Some will be more useful than others. The teenagers list is definitely a work in progress, but we need to start somewhere.

Any suggested additions or omissions welcomed.
