Ms. Netiquette: 2012 Pogo Players Guide to Netspeak!

Dear Readers,

Times change, and so too do the acronyms we use online! It was only a few years ago that none of us had even heard the phrases "tweet that" or "Facebook this". But many of them still exist, and while we've whittled a few down, we've added even more.

I'd like to extend a huge "Thanks" to everyone who wrote in with their contributions! Ultimately, this list is comprised by the players themselves, so everyone who contributes shares in the outcome! I'd like to give a special thanks to batraylover_24 who gave me a big list, many of which have been added – some of which I was surprised to see weren't already on the list!

Now without further ado, here it is!
