With the invention of the computer came lots of really cool things. Like the Internet, and on the Internet people contrived their own language, mostly out of lazieness. We call this language acronyms.
    Acronyms are our way of getting out of typing things over and over and over and over and over, and not having to run a spell check to boot! You will see arconyms all over the place and, hopefully, this page will help clear up some of the confusion or it will further confuse you.
    We got some goodies for ya below and they are.....acronyms and abbreviations, followed by emoticons (where an emotion is expressed in a series of letters or punctuation marks and you have to tilt your head to make it make sense, either that or turn your monitor on it's side), then we will have a list of commonly abbreviated TXF episodes and other things we could think of to abbreviate. Trust us, wait your supposed to 'Trust No One' but then abbrevated that lots like TNO, oh, and The Truth Is Out There looks like TTIOT, cool how that works huh?
    So what were we saying? Oh yeah, there are always things that need abbreviating and you too can join in the abbreviating fun.
    A big Thank you! goes to Robin, who I am convinced has a copy of everything on her computer, at least 3 times and backups on top of that! But it is becuase of Robin's maticulious need for carbon copies, 10 forms of ID and relentless details, we have this very complete list of acronyms, abbreviations, and emoticons. Thanks Robin!
