| Abstract: | While chatting, writing in a forum, or getting email from friends we often come across Internet slang, slang that Internet users have developed and promulgated. Such terms typically originated with the purpose of saving keystrokes, and many people use the same abbreviations in text messages. They are also very commonly used in instant messaging. Emoticons are also an internet invention, used to make facial expressions. These punctuation marks serve as shorthand for emotions, and are also useful as they garnishes one’s words, indicating that one is sad, or joking, or angry, etc. |
