Slang (short for shortened language) is the common term for the vocabulary usually found on the internet or text messages from one person to another in order to abbreviate (or shorten) words. It has an abbreviate style, shortening phrases to acronyms or words to abbreviations. The abbreviations usually shorten the word so it can still be said and understood, while also being easy to read. Internet slang differs from real life, regional slang, although real life slang can also be seen in the game chat. Cadence is known to be an avid user of slang.
