The downfall of communication
Mar. 19th, 2007 05:32 pmSince I am stalling my writing, as my brain does not want to provide anything useful, I will update whoever cares on my random search for net terms. I am totally not Net savvy so when people use Netspeak or IRC speak, I think they are talking a second language. The other day I decided I wanted to remedy this so I knew if people were insulting me or whatever character they were discussing when replying to a forum comment.
My current learnings:
-gg. This one I always had some inkling of, although I associated it with good god or good going so I guess I wasn't too far off. I like this one.
-OTL and orz. I had absolutely no idea at all about these two, especially since they are used interchangeable and upon first glance seem to have nothing to do with each other. I won't be using these since I consider them retarded.
-IIRC. This one is just the epitome of lazy. It's worse than btw for by the way. When I see this one, I want to smack someone upside the head.
-pwn. Ok, I've known this one for a while. I just wanted to look up its history and it amuses me that it's basically a typo that got out of hand.
Anyone else got some commonly used Netspeak for me to waste my time looking up?
Oh yeah I forgot, I'm also looking for a summary to Lamento. I don't care which story it is. Any of them will do. I just want to know what that game is actually about since I very much doubt I'll buy it.
( In Geass news, because yes it is physically impossible for me to have a single post that doesn't reference Geass in some way (I r obsessed). )
