.::... About IRC Acronyms / Abbreviations ...::.

An acronym is a string of letters, where each letter represents a word. They are used simply because it looks neater and is easier to say and/or type. The difference between an 'abbreviation' and 'acronym' is that an abbreviation has each letter pronounced (Eye Are See) whereas an acronym has the letters pronounced as a word (NASA for example). Acronym is allowed to be used generically however.

Example: Internet Relay Chat

This is what the abbreviation 'IRC' means - but imagine if that abbreviation didn't exist, you would have to keep typing 'Internet Relay Chat' all the time - extremely tedious! If you are to successfully muddle along through the world of IRC you are going to have to understand most, if not all, of the acronyms you are likely to come across. It is impossible for you to chat for more than one hour without coming across at least one acronym.

But fear not, this document aims to list some of the most common, less common and plain rare acronyms that you will come across on IRC, aswell as some miscellaneous acronyms that you'll see simply because IRC is very 'Internet related' and it's impossible to exclude more technical acronyms when talking of IRC! Please note that all acronyms in this document are written in capital letters, simply for the sake of being technically accurate. Typing them on IRC in capital letters is not always necessary - for example, typing 'LOL' in caps emphasises something is funny - if something is only mildly amusing you would just do 'lol' in lowercase.

So, here we go....
