Learnings: Online Jargon
You got me! I'm a complete noob when it comes to online jargon. I was racking my brains out thinking about what LMAO or IMHO stand for but I was to chicken to ask my other blogger friends. A light bulb suddenly came on and I smacked myself on the head; I can find all this stuff if I Googled it! I hopped over to G's homey and behold, the answer to all my prayers! I am now sharing these to other bloggers who are to chicken to ask for fear of criticism. I added a few terms that I knew and some that I haven't had the opportunity to see written around the blogosphere (yet). You don't need to tell me that you learned from this post, in fact, you can remain anonymous!
