Learning The Language of the Internet: LMK, IMO, DNO, and more...
by Maria Marsala
Summary: So you've received an email and there are a bunch of codes in it. This list will help you get started learning the language of the Internet.
Maybe you're new to computers. Maybe you're new to using an Instant Message program. Maybe you're wondering what your children are saying online. But it's all written in some weird looking code!
Well, the code are acronyms and this article will help you get started learning the language of the Internet. It's a list of the most commonly used acronyms. With special thanks to Lynn, (a client), who reviewed my list and added a bunch of acronyms that were new to me!

Emoticons :-) Your basic smiley. This smiley is used to inflect a sarcastic or joking statement since we can't hear voice inflection over e-mail. ;-) Wink (something said tongue-in-cheek). :-( Sad, disappointed face. :-I Indifferent smiley. Better than a :-( but not quite as good as a :-) :-> User just made a really biting sarcastic remark. Worse than a ;-) ;- Winky and devil combined. A lewd remark was just made. <:-O "Eeek!" :o "O" Premier Edition! :'-( User is crying. |
