When you talk to someone face-to-face, your body language, the tone of your
voice and your facial expressions impart great meaning to what you say. These non-verbal cues may be more important than your words. You
can personalize your written messages by using a smiley or emoticon--a "character"
you create with your keyboard. You'll be amazed at the range of emotions
these little characters express.
Here are some of the more popular smileys. Can you guess what they mean? Roll your mouse over each emoticon to find out.
While smileys add personality to your messages, abbreviations save keystrokes.
Some common ones include:
<BFN> Bye For Now
<BRB> Be Right Back
<BTW> By The Way
<G> Grin
<HTH> Hope This Helps
<IJWTK> I Just Want To Know
<IJWTS> I Just Want To Say
<IMHO> In My Humble Opinion
<LOL> Laughing Out Loud
<OTOH> On The Other Hand
<ROTFL> Rolling on the Floor Laughing
<TOY> Thinking of You
<YMMV> Your Mileage May Vary
