A Conversation for Talking Point: Netiquette
All those abbreviations.
You can call me TC Started conversation Nov 23, 2000
Can someone compile, or direct me to :
A list of all those enigmatic abbreviations.
You know the ones - IMHO, LOL etc etc. (I know what they mean, but there are lots more)
Some are not obvious. And many are not obvious to non-native speakers or people like me, who have not been in contact with the language on a day-to-day basis since computers were invented. (I am more comfortable telling someone how to use a computer in German than in English)
For nitpickers: I know computers were invented before I was born, I mean "in common use".
Thank you.
All those abbreviations.
