ROFL,
This review is from: Instant Messaging for Dummies (Paperback)
I am a big fan of the "for dummies" line of books, having just finished "How to go Bathroom for Dummies." Before purchasing "Instant Messaging for Dummies," my IMs (that stands for "instant messages" for those that haven't read the book) used to look like this:
hAy Stev e wh'ats ?up. wha t argh yo.......u do ing 3nite(?) D0 y want 3 go 3 a mo?vie '''''''' As you can see (AYCS), that is very difficult to read. I found myself ostracized (OSTZ'd) by my peers and the butt of many of their jokes, none of which I could understand because (B/C) they would make them over texts and instant messages. They would taunt me by sending me text messages calling me a "ID10T" (idiot) or a "L0ZER" (loser) and telling me to GTFO (get the heck out). I would have to write down the text messages on paper (I didn't know how to save my text messages back then either), then take them to my grandmother to translate for me. Very embarrassing. After sitting down with "Instant Messaging for Dummies" for a few weeks and with a lot of practice, my IMs (instant messages) now look like this: 4COL Steve!1!!!! 4Q UR a compl33t HOHA!@ HHO1/2K SRSLY RUOK? LTNS THX. NWDYSOMBASABMDYFF LOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friends (of which I now have many), now call me the "Texting Wizard" (or Textard for short). With my new skills, I can now send IMs (instant messages) from home and even from work. I can send IMs while sitting in a taxi, standing in line to buy concert tickets, waiting to have my oil changed, babysitting, laying in bed, waiting at the deli counter for 1/2 pound of shaved turkey breast, watching my dog eat some dog food, standing in line at the grocery waiting to pay for dog food, walking back into my house after I have just fed my dog some dog food, and I can even send an IM (instant message) whilst watching TV (television). In fact, I sent an IM (instant message) just now! One thing I do NOT recommend, is trying to instant message someone while driving. This is EXTREMELY dangerous. Since I have not learned advanced instant messaging skills, I am still limited to two hand-instant messaging. Even if you are adept enough to send a one-handed instant message, and keep one hand on the wheel, it is STILL DANGEROUS. Two of my friends died while instant messaging. In closing, I would recommend this book to everyone who considers themselves an "instant messaging dummy," and even to those who think they may be "pros" by now, there are probably a few things this book could still teach you (did you know that 'TMOZ' stood for tomorrow?). I should caution that this book does not come with everything needed to instant message someone. You will need a phone with 'texting' capabilities (check with your manufacturer), OR a computer with texting capabilities (many models by Gateway come with this ability). In a pinch, you could always try out the basics with regular paper or papyrus scrolls. I will conclude this review with a bit of a teaser riddle. For an explanation of the phrase below, be sure to check out the book! TTFN (ta ta for now). OMGWTF IMFD is SFS. The author should SADAD
