I believe that implementing this feature request would be too much work for too little gain, for the following reasons:
* The closest technical implementation of such a feature is the spellchecking tool - which would require large modifications to perform a task it was not designed to do.
* Internet vernacular is constantly changing, maintaining such an up-to-date list would be very time-consuming, and could not probably not just be copied verbatim from the Internet due to copyright concerns.
The most obvious reason for not implementing this is the fact that there are hundreds of dedicated sites full of such abbreviated terms. I believe that context-sensitive help should be reserved for functions of the application only, otherwise the door is blown open for other random cruft.
