I heard a story on the radio the other day about abbreviations and i thought what can start out as an innocent mistake or interpretation can get you into so much trouble!
Take for example LOL, quite often people think it stands of Lots of Love, but on the txt and internet world its stands for Laughed Out Loud. So when the husband sent a card to his father in law, when his wife died (his mother in law) and put thinking of you LOL, you can imagine how it was taken.
So here are some useful terms and some not so useful
- SEO – Search Engine Optimisation or if you are in the US Search Engine Optimization
- SEM – Search Engine Marketing
- RM – Reputation Management
- ORM – Online Reputation Management
- URL – Uniform Resource Locater (in other words your web address)
- PM – Private Message, often used on forums
- BRB – Be Right Back
- SERP – Search Engine Results Page
- TTYL – Talk To You Later
- BTW – By The Way
- NIKE – National Indian Knitting Enterprise
- SWAT – Special Weapons And Tactics
There are countless more, any many I could not place on this blog…
