Right from 2013 I started disowning people who used abbreviations in chats. There is a reason devices now have qwerty keyboards: it is so everyone gets forced to type full sentences. I see the use of abbreviations as straight laziness and unexposure. I don't want stupid friends, the world is already too full of those kinds of people.

You repeated two , nos 19 and 38 with nos 17 and 44 , so it's safe to say it's 48 and not 50

Email or chats?

I personally find it annoying when people use it in chats.

Whoever you are, whatever you do, please, don't ever try this in any email.

If you can avoid it in chats too, better.

Have not seen more than 90% of these yet am active in some forums where people use these.

Some of them are almost standard. FYI and re are well used in email communication at highest level, even by CEOs of global companies.

This is complete nonsense. It doesn't make any sense. It only makes sense in informal mails. Stop spreading what makes no sense. This can't be used for formal mails.

You called it "cooperate" when it should be CORPORATE. That's already signs of being sloppy so I wonder what you're tripping over about the use of acronyms some of which have become standard in email communications in the corporate world.

So from that list, here are 5 standard widely used and accepted acronyms.
1) CC
2) COD (or CoD)
3) OOO (out of office)
4) RE
5)FWD
