  We use the Internet for many things:business, shopping, writing letters, talking to people,

  finding information and so on.In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet.There's no real word for it yet, so we'll call it e-talk.

  People don't like typing too much.To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters(called acronyms).Acronyms are often used in chat rooms(聊天室).Some of them are:

  BTE(by the way)      BRB(be right back)

  LOL(laughing out loud)   IMO(in my opinion)

  People also use many abbreviations.They are shortened forms of words.Some common abbreviations are:

  info(information)      puter(computer)

  pic(picture)        see(second)

  We usually don't see people when we communicate(交流)on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings.Most people use their keyboards to draw“feelings”such as:

  :-)(happy)  ;-)(joking)  :-((sad)  :-O(surprised)

  These days, many forums(论坛)have picture feelings.For example:

  (happy)  (sad)  (angry)  (cool)

  There are even whole new words, like“newbies”(someone who is new on a chat board or fo-rum).When you write something bad about someone else, it's called“flaming”the person.

  It takes time for people to get used to(适应)e-talk.Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating.Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean.As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
