http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/children/kidtalk.mspxMy friend from college is an e-athlete and for about 6 months now I haven't been able to communicate with him through e-mail because I can't understand a flippin' word he types. He sent me this the other day, and I thought it might help some of you struggling to understand some people on 3si and other places on the net. I know it help me there also.
Maybe a few other terms that seem to be forum specific also. (Took me a while to figure out some of these, but I'm a little dense in the language department.

) such as:
TTT - To The Top
BPU - Basic Performance Upgrade
WTB - Wanted To Buy
WTF - What The **** (explitive deleted)
Post Whore - some one who posts often
Troll - someone who posts with only negative things to say
Noob or Newbie - affectionate term for a person new to forums
I know there are others, and for the sake of newbies eveywhere please feel free to add them. Something like this would have helped me when I started posting. (I couldnt figure out BPU for about two months...
