Know Internet Slang, What lol and such mean

When you first enter the comment/chat section of the Internet it can be confusing. There are all kinds of different acronyms and abbreviations for phrases. When I first entered the Blogosphere I thought lol was a Hawaiian greeting.

Here a few you should know:

Acronym: What it means:

LOL Laughing out loud

TTYL Talk To You Later

JK Just Kidding

ROFL Rolling on the floor laughing

You can find a much more complete list here, and here. Don't try to memories the
things in these lists. Just sometimes knowing can bring a lot of clarification into
a chat conversation.

Also you should know that this :) is a sideways smiley. So are these :-) 8) :0 :] :} and so on.
