Internet Slang Dictionary and Translator

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 7:28 am

And now for something completely different . . .

Internet Shorthand

Ever find yourself reading along in a post or a comment–or worse an email–and suddenly you encounter a set of letters that mean something. You’re sure they do, but you don’t know what. They are some sort of email and Internet shorthand. For whatever reason, you don’t feel comfortable asking anyone what they mean. Finally, there’s a place where you can sneak away and find out on your own . . .

The Internet Slang Dictionary and Translator

Yes, folks, you never have to feel out in the cold again. You can join the in crowd and be one of the gang, tossing around Internet slang like the rest of them. Best of all, you’ll actually what they mean. Imagine what boon to your business life this little tool could be! :)

Beyond the dictionary and translator, you will also find a number of good articles on net slang and net etiquette worth reading under the tap NET GUIDE.

Seriously click the screen shot, and go have some fun.

    Martin,
    Were you playing with that toy or did you already know all of those things. Please tell me it was the toy. Please tell me it was the toy.

    I don’t want to think of you as multi-lingual in that fashion.

    Whew! What a relief that was! I didn’t think you actually knew that stuff. I was hoping I wasn’t going to have to arrange for an intervention. Those are alwasy so . . . ahem . . .distasteful, getting everyone together, sitting you down, teliing you that we have to talk to you about a problem . . . the tears, the shaking, the need for sedation–and that’s just my reaction!
