Internet Speak

Note that Internet Speak is somewhat light-hearted and may help explain why "newbies", those new to the Internet discussion groups, are somewhat taken aback by the abrupt responses and fun-making of those who have used this means of communications for ages. Suan and I learned some of this from Mac a few years ago. It will take a little getting used to, but can open up a whole new world of discourse for you.

From Spirithart on transform_dom:

• ROFL means “Rolling on the floor laughing”

• LMAO means “Laughing my ass off”

• IMHO (In my humble opinion)

• GMTA (great minds think alike)

• ROFLMAO (Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off)

• ROFLMAOWTIME (Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off with tears in my eyes).

• LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

• This is a smile J

• This is sticking your tongue out at someone :P

• This is a big smile :D

• This is a tall drink \_/

• This is a cinnamon roll @@

Thanks, Spirithart.
