Rules
This slang appeared with the development of electronic communication means (IRCs, chats, blogs,
forums, SMS ) and is mostly a written slang popular amongst younger Internet users. It bases on
colloquial Russian and plays on the orthography of words, partly simplifying them according to
phonetics ( becomes ), by merging two or more words into one () but also
complicating them on purpose ( becomes ). The terms that are specific to the slang are mostly
borrowed from English ( from comment), with few exceptions (such as ). In this slang
words ending in -a are often turned into neutral terms (with a final -o). To convert a standard text into
