Hi TechHelp,
A link to an index to explain the abbreviations to us newbies would be VERY :) :) :) nice! (i.e. lol, btw, etc.)

Thanks,
Laura

Hi LWerner ;)

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for Tech Dictionary (http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/glossary/index.shtml)

Or was there something more specific you were after ?

No, just stuff like this

ROFLMAOMPM.....something Kimmygem said. Just need the abbreviations that people use explained. :eek: Not used to some of the shortcuts ;)

:eek: Yikes!!

This is way more than I NEED to know. Didn't realize this was such a "language" of itself.

Thanks for the links. ;)

I really don't like how people overuse the shorthand stuff
I use a few, such as FYI, IMO, JIC (just in case)
but when chatting with people I think the 'laughing' stuff gets out of hand...
