:-) (happy) :-( (sad) ;-) ( joking) :-o (surprised) These days, many forums have picture emoticons.
There are even whole new words, like „newbie‟ (someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it‟s called „flaming‟ the person.
It takes time to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups in 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.

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(首字母缩略词). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms and forums. Some of them are: BTW(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) sec (second)
or :-).
