Cyber Talk

New to the online world? Have trouble understanding those little symbols embedded in the e-mail that you receive? Without the ability to communicate using facial expressions or tonal inflections, online people use keyboard symbols to convey what they mean. After a sentence, they place a symbol to convey the tone of their previous expression. These little keyboard symbols are called EMOTICONS (ee-MOTE-ee-kons) from the words emotion and icon. Online communication also has lots of Acronyms, groups of three and four capital letters that stand for some longer phrase. We have a lot of them below, so take the time to learn what your friends are really saying, and in what tone they mean it.

ABBREVIATIONS

Onliners also like to abbreviate things since e-mail tends to be quick and to the point. For this reason, "ABB's" are often placed before a sentence to convey an expression or explain what is about to be written. There are also a few Abbs that appear after a sentence, in the same manner as Emoticons, plus a couple that just stand alone.

NETIQUETTE

( "INTERNET"+ "ETIQUETTE" )

Communication is the desirable exchange of thoughts and ideas between individuals. But when these exchanges become undesirable, communication does not take place because the recipient turns off their desire to understand. These instances may arise from something as negligible as grammar or as acute as vulgarity. In order for reasonable people to expect their views to be desirable, many onliners try to maintain a standard for exchange called Netiquette.

CAPITALS LETTERS - MEAN THAT YOU ARE SHOUTING and it really turns some people off

Respect - other people without judgement or innuendo

Lurk - before you leap

Think globally - because people from other nations, cultures, or ethnic backgrounds may not understand your well intended homespun colloquialisms

Keep standards high - People will always form opinions about you based on your standards, and it is often extremely difficult to gain the respect of others when they observe you continually exhibiting your own low standards

Give newbies some slack - When newbies make obvious errors, remember that you were once a newbie, and would you have wanted to receive a harsh correction for something which you did not understand?

Don't abuse your power - Some people in cyberspace try to exert power over others. There are wizards in MUDs (multi-user dungeons), experts in every office, and sysops in every system. Rasing the hood of a car seems to turn everyone into a mechanic. Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them.

Don't send attachments to list servers - Attachments can cause havoc to some transfer systems, and in many cases may actually hang the user when he tries to download e-mail from his local ISP. Members of list servers often subscribe to more than one list, and are by nature, accustomed to scanning large amounts of e-mail without hassles. Some list server providers block attachment for just this reason.

The case of the snoopy foreign correspondent

In 1993, Michael Hiltzik, a highly regarded foreign correspondent in the Moscow bureau of the Los Angeles Times, was caught reading his coworkers' email. His colleagues became suspicious when system records showed that someone had logged in to check their email at times when they knew they hadn't been near the computer. So they set up a sting operation. They planted false information in messages from another one of the paper's foreign bureaus. Hiltzik read the notes and later asked colleagues about the false information. Bingo! As a disciplinary measure, he was immediately reassigned to another position at the paper's Los Angeles bureau

Moral: Failing to respect other people's privacy is not just bad Netiquette -it could potentially cost you your job

SIGNATURE DOODLES

Some people just like to doodle and create nifty, personalized signatures at the end of their message. Here are a few of the more noteworthy ones that we have encountered.
