@ Sue:

Because the thread had disappeared without a trace to the underground floor of this forum I had to go for it "downstairs".

"Oics" - are these the recently dedected race from... ( what´s the name of this fog?)?

Sue N.

A new race from the internet

oic is short for "Oh, I see!".

Now you see them, now you don't. :-)

What a pity! And I thought...

The "shorties" are difficult. I also have sometimes problems to make them "long" in German, too.

Web-speak is a whole new language. I only know a small part of it.

Oh yeah - "web-speak"! I´ve heard of it... But I´m sure to be a "less-knower" in regard of it.

ROFLOL = rolling on the floor laughing out loud
IMHO = im my humble opinion
<g,d,r> = grin, duck and run (if you've just said something which might make the other hit you over the head)
PMFBI (??) (not quite sure how this one went ... but something like "Pardon me for butting in" if you interrupt a board conversation which seems to exclude outsiders.

Together with the instructions of Mr. Anderson in the "compi-thread" how to make the handling more effectiv and those ones which do explain how to put the ~ upon the "n" for instance when I´m asked to write in Spanish - it seems to me to be a science for itself!

There is no more place enough in my mind - I fear - to put it there...
But, with a paper nearby it may be able to help!
