Talk:Acronyms

• I see "ZOMG" a fair bit, but I don't know if the Z means there's an extra word in the acronym, or if it's just there. --fnord

It's really just a sarcastic version of OMG. --Veistran 11:22, 11 Nov 2005 (MST)

• Is it necessary to include non-KoL-specific acronyms, such as lol?

-Klemon

I think that we definitely should not include them. KoL tends to shun internet abbreviation such as "lol." See: The Altar of Literacy. I'm going to remove them now.

• Is WOMBAT really a commonly used acronym within the KoL community?? First I've ever heard of it. Admittedly, I don't interact much with the community... -- Old Ned 21:56, 3 June 2006 (CDT)

• Would it be useful to have redirect pages for each of these acronyms to their respective pages? For example have a page called AT redirect to the Accordion Thief page. I would think this would be useful for people coming to this page either looking for the meaning of an acronym, or for laziness when searching long things such as GPOAS. --Fryguy9 16:04, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

• SNIG (same name in game) is often used in the forums...

Should all of these be redirects?--Dehstil (t|c) 14:30, 3 July 2006 (CDT)

"Acronyms to Avoid?"

Is that section really necessary? This page seems like a reference for people wondering what the meanings of various acronyms, and the thing at the bottom telling them not to use certain ones seems kind of out-of-place. Maybe if that and this were merged into a "KoL Chat Traditions / Conventions" page, it would make sense there, but as part of this one, it just doesn't fit.--Hogulus 19:21, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
