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 also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common
abbreviations are:
We usually don't see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have
new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
These days, many forums (论坛) have picture feelings. For example:
There are even whole new words, like "newbies" (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 for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on 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.
