"Having a Little Fun with Emoticons and Acronyms"
This list of abbreviations and symbols was a mystery
for Neil Shearing of SpamFreeZone.com. He assumed that others may
have been as bewildered as he was, so he published these definitions for his newsletter readers. It is repeated here, with
his quote, as a courtesy of his weekly Ezine "Advice +
Opportunity"
"I remember the first time I entered a chat room...
Someone wrote LOL, and I didn't have a *clue*
what it meant. I guessed it was either "laugh out
loud" or "hell, oh hell" (meaning I made a terrible mistake)!
Thankfully, I found out it meant "laugh out loud".
If you ever wondered what an acronym meant,
or which "emoticon (smiley)" was appropriate...
take a look at this list..." ...Neil
Shearing
As used in a lot in Chat Rooms, acronyms
are also very popular in Forum discussions.
Many of the recent forum formats provide a full schedule of animated
'Smiley's". Their use is much more evident than Emoticons and
Acronyms, which for many of us are un-defined, un-fathomable, and
un-interesting... until now........Richard
