Subject: E-Glyphs/Emoticons



This is a call for all tech/computer originated terms.



Emoticons, e-glyphs, whatever you call them and whatever ones you use let me

know. :-) I am an English graduate student at Michigan State University. I am

trying to compile a tech dictionary. Included in this I want to have any

terminology that you might use, or have seen used, in e-mail, snail mail, or

other postings. Please don't limit yourself to icons like ":->", any terms

from IMHO to multi-platform are valid. I am looking for any and all terms

that saw their start in the computer world. Please include an explanation of

what it means and even a copy of the context you saw it in if you have it.

Nothing needs to be excluded. Thanx for your time. I don't want to flood

ADS-L with e-glyph innundations, so feel free to send them directly to me. I

hope this is as fun for you as it is for me.
