NETSPEAK, Internet slang (2)

Hi, Guys!,

How technology is affecting our language? Sometimes, it's quite difficult to understand a message, you may get confused with NETSPEAK. This is a mode of communication based on abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms, this always includes intentional mispellings and symbols.

So, if you're interested in NETSPEAK, I encourage you to watch the following video and learn more about the Internet Slang. For example:

• BRB = be right back
• AFK = away from keyboard (I'm gone for a few minutes).
• KK = OK
• TTYL = talk to you later
• CYA = see you
  
• THX = thanks

Hi, Guys!,

Are you familiar with LOL? What does it mean?

Well, LOL is an abbrevation of LAUGHING OUT LOUD, laugh out loud or LOTS OF LAUGHS. It is actually a common element of internet slang, mostly used by teenagers nowadays.

There is another variation: ROFL which means "ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING".

In this new internet slang, there are other popular acronyms such as BFN whic means "BYE FOR NOW" and IMHO "IN MY HUMBLE OPINION".

According to some critics, these initialisms are convenient and necessary, but you may get confused when you read them in an email.

Obviously, these remind me of when I post MOBILE LANGUAGE, too much information, no time, no space.
