“Internet and Computer Slang Dictionary” (ISBN 1468013211) by James Kittell II is a comprehensive, alphabetically-ordered list of more than 9,000 slang terms and abbreviations used in online communication throughout the world.
Written for anyone wondering what their children are saying online, who suspects another person of illegal activity, or feels that the Internet is some kind of a members-only club they can’t join, the book features thousands of useful definitions related to all. Readers will learn terminology specific to online interest groups including computer and internet experts, corporate professionals, young adults, online gamers, people who use the web for dating or casual encounters and even those who may engage in criminal activity online.
“Many of the terms listed can be considered slang, such as MMK for okay or OSM for awesome,” says Kittell. “Others are obscure or downright confusing. Some are applied for an express purpose. For example, AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format and MP often refers to ‘mana points’ in online gaming.”
Designed for easy reference, the content is organized into four primary types of terminology: emoticons, abbreviations, acronyms and numerical codes. In addition to day-to-day use for parents, children and the general public, the book will also prove inherently useful to those working in the fields of law enforcement, criminal investigation, psychology and child development. Understanding Internet slang is often essential to locate missing persons, nab sex offenders and drug dealers, and investigate other types of illegal and criminal activity, says Kittell.
“Internet and Computer Slang Dictionary” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
