Well.. I'd say that it's just a part of evolving language..\n\nWhile chattimg and similar stuff, what ppl want is a quick exchange of ideas and opinions and being grammatically correct is not taht important than conveying the snese..\n\nWho knows with the ionternet becoming more commonplace than ever these days, tommorrow these words may be accepted by the Oxford ictionary as well.. Already there is a large num of abbreviations for which we know the meaning, but we may not be knowing the expanded form.. ( EX RSVP,OK )\n\nSo keep working on these short forms..

POP stands for Post Office Protocol, an e-mail standard.  Yahoo does support it, but charges you an anual fee.  You can't get around it, sorry.

(1) Short for Post Office Protocol, a protocol used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail applications (sometimes called an e-mail client) use the POP protocol, although some can use the newer IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).\nThere are two versions of POP. The first, called POP2, became a standard in the mid-80's and requires SMTP to send messages. The newer version, POP3, can be used with or without SMTP.\n\n(2) Short for point of presence, an access point to the Internet. ISPs have typically multiple POPs. A point of presence is a physical location, either part of the facilities of a telecommunications provider that the ISP rents or a separate location from the telecommunications provider, that houses servers, routers, ATM switches and digital/analog call aggregators.

You bet you do. You call with the polite assumption that they did not receive your invitation. After all, that's the only possible explanation for not honoring your request to RSVP, right? Your friends wouldn't be rude to you, would they? But seriously ... \n\nDo call. In fact, call even those who DID honor your RSVP to "confirm" your guest list. This is your golden opportunity to prevent problems on your big day. What kind of problems? Uninvited people showing up, such as guests bringing guests of their own or small children. (If you use vague terms like "and family" or "and guest" on your invitiations, you have only yourself to blame for this.)\n\nBy The Big Day, you should have only two lists: those who WILL be attending and those who WILL NOT. There is no "maybe" list for such an important event. Make this clear during your RSVP calls and do not be bullied into accomodating unexpected arrivals.

R.S.V.P. stands for the French phrase Répondez s’il vous plaît (“reply, please”), so it doesn’t need an added “please.” However, since few people seem to know its literal meaning, and fewer still take it seriously, it’s best to use plain English: “Please reply.” It is a mistake to think that this phrase invites people to respond only if they are planning to attend; it is at least as important to notify the person doing the inviting if you cannot go. And no, you can’t bring along the kids or other uninvited guests

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" (or "Rich Site Summary" if you are a nerd.) As far as having one place to add, read and monitor RSS feeds, I suggest Windows Live. Here are some step-by-step instructions (with lots of pictures).\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/8hcwo

"Netiquette" stands for "Internet Etiquette", and refers to the set of practices developed over the years to make the Internet experience pleasant for everyone. Like other forms of etiquette, netiquette is primarily concerned with matters of courtesy in communications. The following sections provide more information.\nFor a detailed description of 'netiquette' visit the link http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ia_nq.htm\n\nEtiquette, also known as decorum, is the code that governs the expectations of social behavior, the conventional norm. It is an unwritten code, but it may evolve from or into a written code. Etiquette fundamentally prescribes and restricts the ways in which people interact with each other, and show their respect for other people by conforming to the norms of society. \nFor a detailed description of 'etiquette' visit the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette

(pronounced as separate letters) Short for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. Most e-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another; the messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP. In addition, SMTP is generally used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. This is why you need to specify both the POP or IMAP server and the SMTP server when you configure your e-mail application.

If you are referring to serving styles at a banquet or other food service event:\n\nFrench Service\nFrench Style is when the food is plattered tableside. The platters are presented to the guests and the guests pass and serve themselves. This requires more space and service can be slow.\n  \nRussian Service\nWaiters serve wedding guests individually from a silver platter. Each course is served to each guest individually.\n  \nAmerican Service.\nCompleting one table at a time, waiters carry the food, which is already plated in the kitchen. \n\nNote, however, that there are some differences in what people consider to be French and Russian service. Some notion that Russian service is derivative of French style service.\n\nIf you are using this to plan a banquet just make sure that the caterer explains what he or she considers each service style to be.

RSS, acronym for Really Simple Syndication, a family of XML file formats for web syndication used by news websites and weblogs\n\nRSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.\n\nThe abbreviation is used to refer to the following standards:\n\n    * Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)\n    * RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)\n    * Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0.0)\n\nUSAGE\nRSS is widely used by the weblog community to share the latest entries' headlines or their full text, and even attached multimedia files. (See podcasting, vodcasting, broadcasting, screencasting, Vloging, and MP3 blogs.) In mid 2000, use of RSS spread to many of the major news organizations, including Reuters, CNN, and the BBC. These providers allow other websites to incorporate their "syndicated" headline or headline-and-short-summary feeds under various usage agreements. RSS is now used for many purposes, including marketing, bug-reports, or any other activity involving periodic updates or publications.\n\nA program known as a feed reader or aggregator can check RSS-enabled webpages on behalf of a user and display any updated articles that it finds. It is now common to find RSS feeds on major Web sites, as well as many smaller ones.\n\nClient-side readers and aggregators are typically constructed as standalone programs or extensions to existing programs like web browsers. Such programs are available for various operating systems. See list of news aggregators.\n\nWeb-based feed readers and news aggregators require no software installation and make the user's "feeds" available on any computer with Web access. Some aggregators syndicate (combine) RSS feeds into new feeds, e.g. take all football related items from several sports feeds and provide a new football feed. There are also search engines for content published via RSS feeds like Feedster or Blogdigger.

What RSVP Means\nThe term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

Nothing. It is a phonetic abbreviation. It means "to come" which is just what you said.
