AIM Keyboard
Created | Updated Nov 3, 2002
Through extensive and grueling minutes of sifting through AIM log files, I have managed to design a keyboard suited to the needs of an AOLer1.
This new layout eliminates all of the charcters uneccessary for an average conversation on AIM:
| 2 | 4 | 8 | ! | & | ( | ) | - | = |
| CAPS | U | R | Y | I | O | P | ||
| A | D | G | H | L | ; | : | ||
| Z | C | B | SP | N | M | ? |
For example:
AOLER1: u r gr8!!!!!! (You are a nice person.)
AOLER2: :-) (Thank you.)
AOLER1: i c u!!!!!! (I'm acting cute!)
AOLER2: ;-) (I know.)
AOLER1: y r u bng ;-)??? (Why are you acting like that?)
AOLER2: :-? (Acting like what?)
AOLER1: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! (Ha ha ha!)
AOLER2: :-D (Tee hee.)
AOLER!: Cya!!! (Talk to you later!)
1There is a very small minority of AOLers who are forced to use AOL. This page is a joke intended to target the majority of the misspelling, over-abbreviating, usually junior/teen2 populous of AOL.2Seniors are a large part of the demographic, but they tend to use less "trendy" language, if they use AIM at all.
