The other day, we learned chat acronyms, and I wanted know if they use it very much.
Thanks for your attention.

I find it rude or sloppy when I get a business e-mail filled with these shorthands, YKWIM? It's ABTM.
On the other hand, there are certain abbreviations and acronyms that it is reasonable to assume everyone knows, e.g., MBA, USA, NASA, UN, and IRS (in the US). Also, within a specific profession there are additional ones that you can assume professional knows, e.g., EFL. Beyond that, follow Ragnorrk's advice.

I only use abbreviations in my personal documents, as for important documents, I will write them in full.

Chat acronyms are commonly used in online and text-based communication, especially among younger generations and in informal contexts. These acronyms are convenient for quick and efficient messaging, as they allow people to convey emotions, reactions, or common phrases succinctly.
