Internet Slang Dictionary & Translator
When  Ryan Jones instant messaged with some young people and couldn't understand a "thing they were typing," it made him mad -- and inspired him to create the Internet Slang Dictionary and Translator. The site, a resource for those who find themselves befuddled or enraged by what masquerades as language on the Web today, offers translations, a dictionary, a "Website Validator," and a "Guide to Netspeak." So when you walk in the room and catch your child feverishly typing "p911," you won't be in the dark. And when you're joking with a friend who suddenly writes, "c|n>k," you'll be able to laugh knowingly and shoot back, "lawlz!" (in Reference) |
