yarn Any system that allows any number of
logged -in users to have a typed , real -time , on -line
conversation via a {network }.
The medium of {chat } is descended from {talk }, but the terms
and the media ) have been distinct since at least the early
1990s . {talk } is prototypically for a small number of people ,
generally with no provision for {channels }. In {chat }
systems , however , there are many {channels } in which any
number of people can talk ; and users may send private
one -to -one ) messages .
Some early chat systems (in use 1998 ) include {IRC }, {ICQ } and
Palace }. More recent alternatives include {MSN Messenger }
and {Google Talk }.
Chat systems have given rise to a distinctive style combining
the immediacy of talking with all the precision (and
verbosity ) that written language entails . It is difficult to
communicate inflection , though conventions have arisen to help
with this .
The conventions of chat systems include special items of
jargon , generally abbreviations meant to save typing , which
are not used orally . E .g . {BCNU }, {BBL }, {BTW }, {CUL },
FWIW }, {FYA }, {FYI }, {IMHO }, {OT }, {OTT }, {TNX }, {WRT },
WTF }, {WTH }, {}, {}, {BBL }, {HHOK }, {NHOH }, {ROTFL },
AFK }, {b4 }, {TTFN }, {TTYL }, {OIC }, {re }.
Much of the chat style is identical to (and probably derived
from ) {Morse code } jargon used by ham -radio amateurs since the
1920s , and there is , not surprisingly , some overlap with {TDD }
jargon . Most of the jargon was in use in {talk } systems .
Many of these expressions are also common in {Usenet } {news }
and {electronic mail } and some have seeped into popular
culture , as with {emoticons }.
The {MUD } community uses a mixture of {emoticons }, a few of
the more natural of the old -style {talk mode } abbreviations ,
and some of the "social " list above . In general , though ,
MUDders express a preference for typing things out in full
rather than using abbreviations ; this may be due to the
relative youth of the MUD cultures , which tend to include many
touch typists . Abbreviations specific to MUDs include :
FOAD }, ppl (people ), THX (thanks ), UOK ? (are you OK ?).
Some {BIFF }isms (notably the variant spelling "d00d ") and
aspects of {ASCIIbonics } appear to be passing into wider use
among some subgroups of MUDders and are already pandemic on
chat } systems in general .
