Proper E-mail Etiquette--Part IIby Dean PhillipsE-mail messages often contain abbreviations and acronyms in an attempt to save time, shorten messages or conserve bandwidth. Here are some common ones and their meanings: BFN--bye for now BTW--by the way CUA--commonly used acronyms, common user access FAQ--frequently asked question FUD--(spreading) fear, uncertainty and disinformation FWIW--for what it's worth FYI--for your information GR&D--grinning, running and ducking HTH--hope this helps IAE--in any event IANAL--i am not a lawyer IMCO--in my considered opinion IMHO--in my humble opinion IMNSHO--in my not so humble opinion IMO--in my opinion IOW--in other words JAGR--just a gentle reminder LOL--lots of luck, laughing out loud MHOTY--my hat's off to you NRN--no reply necessary OIC--oh, i see OOTB--out of the box (brand new) OTOH--on the other hand OTTH--on the third hand PMFJI--pardon me for jumping in RFTM--read the funny manual ROTFL--roll(ing) on the floor laughing (also ROF, L, ROFL) RSN--real soon now (which may be a long time SITD--still in the dark TANSTAAF--there ain't no such thing as a free TIA--thanks in advance TIC--tongue in cheek TLA--three-letter acronym TTFN--ta-ta for now TTYL--talk to you later TYVM--thank you very much WYSIWYG--what you see is what you get Commonly Used Emoticons: :-) smiley face ;-) wink (light sarcasm) :-| indifference :-> devilish grin (heavy sarcasm) 8-) eye-glasses :-D shock or surprise :-/ perplexed :-( frown (anger or displeasure) :-P wry smile ;-} leer :-Q smoker :-e disappointment :-@ scream :-O yell :-* drunk :-{} wears lipstick :- male >- female The above abbreviations and emoticons were presented for your knowledge and enjoyment only. I highly recommend you use these sparingly, if at all, since not everyone knows what they mean. There are hundreds of these things and their translations are by no means universal (a mis-interpreted smiley could lead to a flame). Ooops, sorry! Here's the definition of flame: name- calling, personal insults, verbal attacks, trying to start a fight with someone, to criticize harhly in an e- mail. About the Author Make Money Online!
