Congratulations > Congrats > Grats > GZ -
For Achievement I use > Cheev
Oh and for heirlooms > Looms..
lol
Lol, gz, WTF, omfg and waaaay too many others..
Lol and gz.
Those are the only ones, and then i most of the time just say congrats!
I do not really shortened words like cheeve or shdw, makes me pissed off since
in my opinion, it just looks dumb.

brb
lol (usually I say haha)
btw
omg
grats
The rest I type out completely. I'm in no hurry, no need to shorten stuff and look stupid. The stuff I do shorten is pure habit I'm afraid. If I'm in an instance and need to type something out in a hurry, then I'll shorten every friggin thing I can and still make it readable. But, I'm usually in vent with the people I do stuff with, so no need for that.
ready = r?
yes = y
achievment = ach
Archeaology = arch
etc etc
btw
gtg, cya, hf, gl, FTW, omg
sometimes ofc and STFU
I am useing em for the right moment!
Learn about consequences before try something.
i have an entire keyboard in front of me, so abbreviating things feels almost pointless to me, unless it is a universal abbreviation that i could log onto facebook and see. i do lol, brb, ftl, all things my mother knows the meaning to. i cant stand people who have become so lazy that they start writing things like gz, which in reality makes NO SENSE AT ALL, just because they cant be bothered to use the keyboard in front of them. i mean come on, its congratulations people. Don't get me started on people who use u instead of you and r instead of are.
Honestly, it bothers me when people use abbreviations. Does it kill you to type a few extra letters?
I use words that I think look good, I actually do. If it looks better shortened, I shorten it, if it looks better when its a full word, I write the full word.
HNY = happy new year
It was either shorten it or macro it. Far too many whispers from my mates coming back from their hols.
None. Well, some. I use contractions like 'I'm' and 'They're'. Aside from the standard English contractions, none. Occasionally I'll use something like 'zomg' or 'wtf' or whatever when I'm exaggerating or having fun, but aside from that, I use proper language.
I'll use some abbreviations and acronyms, especially when I'm PvPing and need to answer a question in guild/officer chat without dying. I don't care much for most abbreviations though, and I'll admit that I end up thinking less highly of people who don't seem to be able to type out a single word.
My most used would be:
IIRC
AFAIK
BTW
Congrats!
Gratz/Gz (Congratulations)
Lol Lawl and several other variations
GTG
Cya(See you)
Achie(Achievement)
Archae(Archaeology)
IIRC
BW
WTF... the list goes on, but when it comes to numbers, the letter/word "u/you" and putting u's into words just as Armour, Colour, I tend to follow those rules
Standard abbreviations that you see anywhere online: lol, brb, afk, btw, wtf, iirc, and the occasional tbh.
I don't tend to abbreviate many WoW-specific words. Seeing idiocy like "hc" or "roic" bothers me. I get abbreviating long names, like dungeon and raid names--VP, BWD, BoT--but no amount of explaining will make me accept things like "roic," "r," or "gz."
About anything I can if I'm bored.
LOL FFS WTF HC Achiev CC Sheep CBA OMG, All my pala skills like SotR, CS, HotR etc, Herbing, mixing really to many to count, but my all time favorite is Gz!
