Does anyone remember where the site is that explains all those abbreviations?

No good throwing them at Mr Google as he just points you to millions of fora where they've been used.

No problem, my dear, and please - call me Tim :)

BTW, WTF is it that makes people use so many of these abbreviations nowadays? It's not like SMS - I mean, bandwidth is not exactly limited...LOL 8)

Problem I have as an English graduate and pedant is that too many people online seem to combine this abbreviated speech with txt spk

That, at least, is something people on here seem to avoid in the main :o

On the subject of MSN - I hate people who replace words with an animated version of the same thing, it's SO ANNOYING.

Plus, Windows Live Drivvel (MSN8) is so frickin' slow and clunky. I HATE it.

There's a new version out (released earlier this week). Sign-in takes 15 seconds max.

Much faster than previous versions and it's quite sexy aswell.
