[edit] Acronyms & abbreviations
Acronyms are probably the most used variation of internet slang. As opposed to typing out a long character string of multiple words, a simple 3 or 4 letter acronym can be used to express your point. A good example of this is "lol", which is commonly used to replace "laughing out loud" or "laugh out loud", to express laughter, or "rofl" (Rolling on floor laughing) to express a lot of laughter, along with "lmao" (Laughing my *** off). These two terms have created a vast internet sub-culture, with many variations and spin-offs.

Given that sheep get shorn, why do rail passengers put up with?


Acronyms vary considerably depending on the internet group, particularly in the case of online games where each game develops its own acronyms within its sub-culture. For example within the context of the online MMORPG World of Warcraft, AP generally refers to "Attack Power" while in the MMORPG Maple Story it refers to "Ability Points". This can lead to considerable confusion for the new user who is often incapable of understanding other users' messages.

[edit] Emoticons (smileys)
Main article: Emoticon
Emoticons - also known as smileys - are a form of ASCII art where a short sequence of printable characters is used to resemble a facial expression and convey an emotion.

Railway enqiry?


The basic "western style" smiley is :-), where the colon represents the eyes, the hyphen for the nose (which is, generally, overlooked,) and the parenthesis for the mouth - hence the name. They may be more easily recognised by tilting one's head to the left. A great many variants exist.

Do you think that we should nationalise the Railways and Energy providers in the uk?


The other major style of emoticon, which does not require the viewer to tilt their head, evolved in East Asia. In the basic smiling manga emoticon, ^_^, the carets represent the eyes, and the underscore a mouth.

Therefore some users wish to reproduce this image by pretending they are 'hackers' to command some form of respect. Some examples include:

[edit] Format tagging
Many internet users are also programmers. Due to this fact, a variation of tagging meant to resemble XML or HTML code is used to give emphasis on posts on blogs, forums, or message boards. For example, in HTML, when "<b>" and "</b>" are placed around text, a web browser will display it in boldface. Because emotions and inflection do not apply to text, Internet users will feign XML tags for such emphasis, such as "<sarcasm>…</sarcasm>" "<rant>…</rant>" or "<white lie>…</white lie>". These "tags" are often meant to be generally humorous or informative. The opening tag may also sometimes be omitted when a block of text's designation as such is not meant to be known at first, such as when a sarcastic comment is made and only after the reader finishes it do they see the closing </sarcasm> tag and realize the intent of the message.
