On AOL or MySpace "ttyl" is talk to ya later and "brb" is be right back, and that's just some of the Internet lingo that's making its way into our schools--and parents and teachers aren't "LOL" about it!

A new study finds that 2/3 of teens admit to using Internet shortcuts in their school work!

But don't worry yet parents and teachers, there's some hope!

If you see a teen writing this way be sure to remind them the difference between formal and informal writings.

The key is letting a teen know right away so they don't develop the habit!

Do you use these shortcuts? Do you know people that do, and does it bother you?

Let me know!
