Maybe you have seen the commercial..... kids texting on their cell phones w/grandma...and the mom didn't know what 'LOL' meant... For some of us this commercial is absolutely hilarious, yet for others it is not funny at all.
Many people didn't start using the computer until after they retired. Maybe their children bought them a computer so they could keep in touch..blah blah blah.
What great kids!! They teach the folks how to turn it on and off, how to send email letters, how to search for everything from chicken pot pie recipes to taking care of the new hydrangea bush. They show how to play the games and music. They warn about the dangers of the internet, lots and lots of warnings. Don't do this, don't do that...blah, blah, blah. One thing they usually DON'T do is tell them what the heck people are saying! Soooooo - for the newbies to the internet and all this chat / email / blog stuff etc....here is a list of common symbols, etc...you are sure to see from time to time.
(if anyone wants to add any to the list - that is great. post it in your comment - thanks)
