Its one of those scenarios where they obviously do not understand the terminology used on the net. Unfortunately not everyone has been around long enough to remember what was used last year even let alone 6 or 7 years back.\n\nDont worry about it. Seems to me they are just a bt sensitive and did not understand what you were actually saying.\n\nBtw, for those who dont know, check the link.

"Yahoo IM Users: Be on the lookout for worm that pretends to be safe browser = \nA new worm that spreads through the Yahoo Instant Messaging application infects computers and forwards itself to those in the IM contact list, then hijacks your browser home page and replaces it with a web site that loads spyware onto your computer. Even worse, it plays on computer users' security concerns by passing itself off as a "safe web browser" called Safety Browser and uses real- looking Internet Explorer logos.

It is almost certainly not due to your conversations being watched.  If an IM Content scanner is in use you would have absolutely no idea since it would be on a spam port off a switch somewhere in your network\n\nYour problem is most likely due to some network oc PC issue.

I don't think it's a matter of not being able to spell.  Most people don't take Yahoo! Answers seriously enough to proof read.  Further, the Internet culture of 'online slang' and various other short cuts used in chat rooms and IMs naturally transcends into Yahoo! Answers.

Use it like it's a phone that is always connected = ) If someone IMs you it's more like they're calling you than a knock on the door\n\nIf it's someone you know IMing you, you generally don't turn it down unless you want to be rude. If it's someone you don't know either not responding to them or politely telling them you don't care to chat today is fine.\n\n= )\n\nI've been using IM since I was 12 so it feels soo natural to me! It's been... 8 years?

you talk to the person you want to warn. at the bottom of the IM screen ther eis a button that says WARN. you click that and a window pops up that says warn annonymously? pick yes or no and then it works.\n\na reason its nto working may be that the computer didnt find anyhting wrong that the other person said. you cant warn the other person for no reason at all

I did some volunteer moderating for an english virtual chat site. I don't think of them as any different, other than the slang they use. Frankly, I can't STAND it. IE: "wot fancy fit fab lad wold like 2 bloody snog me???"

"private message" me... usually in a chat room where there are public messages, but you can send private messages to specific individuals.  different from im me... which is "instant message" me.  i.e.  yahoo im, aol im, msn im.

There's lots of us out there who haven't caught on to the world of internet, email and chat room slang and abbreviations.  Just thought you might find this article interesting.  Abbreviations change so fast it's hard to keep up.  But this list might give you a chuckle or two.  WARNING: some of the abbreviations might be offensive.  Please don't hurt the messenger (me!)\n\nhttp://netforbeginners.about.com/cs/netiquette101/a/abbreviations.htm\n\nplrr
