You probably already know WDW, but what about CDS or MAoWtP? If you come across an abbreviation you don't recognize, use this handy dandy list to look it up. We've also included some general usage shorthands (such as AFK and BTW), as well as some emoticons (smileys) at the bottom.</font></p> <p><font size="3">As for using abbreviations yourself, this usually works best when you spell out the word the first time, put the abbreviation immediately after it in parentheses, and then use the abbreviation from that point on in your message. For example, "We went to Adventurers Club (AC) on our second night  we thought AC was the best club on Pleasure Island!" This helps readers understand your message even if they aren't as up to date on all the abbreviations.</font></p> <p><font size="3">If you notice an important abbreviation missing from this list, please e-mail it to us and we'll include it.</font></p> <p><font color="#FF8000" size="4"><strong><br> General Shorthand<br> </strong></font><font size="3">AFK - Away From Keyboard/Keys<br> BTW - By The Way <br> BRB - Be Right Back<br> DH - Dear(est) Husband<br> DW - Dear(est) Wife<br> F2F - Face-to-Face<br> GMTA - Great Minds Think Alike<br> IMHO - In My Humble Opinion<br> IMNSHO - In My Not So Humble Opinion<br> LOL - Laughing Out Loud <br> OT - Off Topic<br> OTOH - On The Other Hand<br> ROTF - Rolling On The Floor (laughing)<br> ROFLWTIME - Rolling On Floor With Tears In My Eyes<br> RSN - Real Soon Now<br> TTFN - Ta Ta For Now<br> WTG - Way To Go</font></p> <p><font color="#FF8000" size="4"><strong><br> Emoticons (Smileys)</strong></font><font size="3"><br> :) = smile<br> ;) = wink<br> :D = big smile<br> :< = pout<br> :( = frown<br> :'( = crying<br> };> = devil<br> 0;V = angel<br> {{{}}} = hug<br> :* = kiss <br> :x = lips are sealed <br> :p = sticking out tongue <br> </font></p> <address> <font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS"><em>Updated 11/21/03</em></font><font face="Comic Sans MS"> </font> </address> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="2"><em><a href="disclaimer.htm" target="_self"> Copyright 1999-2006</a><br> <a href="http://www.passporter.com" target="_top">PassPorter Travel Press</a>, an imprint of <a href="http://www.passporter.com" target="_top">MediaMarx, Inc.</a></em><br> Questions?
