o.O kinda like a WTF moment, or did you really just say that face.

:S I always assumed was a silly face, never really got that one myself.

I just learn lqtm today or laughing quietly to myself.

So many abbreviations and acronyms how is anybody supposed to understand anyone else…I’m 18 and already feel outdated because of all you people and your letters that stand for words!

o.O = surprised face and doing *this* *with* *words* means doing the action in real life or suggesting that thats what you’re doing.
E.g.
*smiles* = you smile/you’re smiling
*jumps for joy* = you jump for joy/are jumping for joy

Hope it helped =]

To all of you great helpers on help.com…. I’m so happy tht I am *clapping* to finally feel a little less “computidiot” (a new word I made up :s) “WTF” kind of word is that, you ask? Well, it’s a word that helps me express myself and feel kinda like I fit in here in the computer world….learning the language of internet has been quite an experience o.O, but hopefully I will be internet literate with practice…if I ever get a chance to practice, with my busy life and all…:/

Of course, you may think “wtf”—-Jelly’s on this site all the time, how could she possibly have a busy life????—-Well, I do, I just spend too much time on help b/c I’m addicted. So instead of taking care of things, I type:[ But that is OK, because I am LEARNING A SKILL :s in this “modern” world that I need to get into b4 I’m too old to see the words on the little screen :o

Once again, thank you.

^^^^^ Sorry for the corny post….^^^^^ just trying to use my newfound knowledge:)

* * also can be empathising a certain word, to make it stand out.

I always see :s as a “oh dear” smiley. Like “:s your an idiot for doing that” kinda smiley :P (and :P follows a toungue in cheek comment, or to put a positive edge on things).
