Emoticons and Acronyms!
"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

Acronyms:
As used 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...
