For Thos Unfamiliar With "Internet and Forum Slang"...

[Drdan]

Sometimes I'm stumped myself, and being that I don't ask, am often unaware what some of the abbreviations mean... A friend just sent me these two links. Hope this helps forumites on HI's Forum...

Good post Dan, thanks for the link. Internet lingo can be tricky sometimes; I recently got a webcam so I can videoconference with my brother and parents. Last night I was chatting with my Mom while trying to hook up my camera, so I typed in brb (be right back) to let her know that I had to disconnect. She thought I was calling her Barbie and proceeded to rip me a new one once I got the camera hooked up! Thankfully she believed me when I told her what it really means!
