chris54 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Now I not having a go at anyone inpaticular but:- Some of the posts I have trouble making sense of as an alternative version of English seems to be being used that I don't understand.. The words just don't make any sense to my. Also there are what I assume are abbreviations that I just don't get. Example " lol" whats that ? There are lots more. Am I the only one, did I miss something along the way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted January 17, 2009 Example " lol" whats that ? There are lots more. lol = laughing out loud If you look at the top right of your screen under the blue forum banner there is a box that says 'Jargon Buster' (next to 'Calendar', 'Members' etc...). If you click on that, it will bring up a (very) long list of these acronyms to help you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
