Does any one know the meaning of :-)

[Kenneth Galle]

It means "smile".  :-( frown, ;-) wink etc.  Does anyone know if there is a
coined name for them?  You may also find these interesting (essential):

AAMOF: as a matter of fact
AFAIK: as far as I know
AISE: as I see it
BFN: bye for now
BION: believe it or not
BRB: be right back
BTW: by the way
CMIIW: correct me if I am wrong
FUD: fear, uncertainty, and doubt
FWIW: for what it's worth
FYI: for your information
HTH: hope this helps
IIRC: if I recall correctly
IMHO: in my humble opinion
LOL: laughing out loud
MYOB: mind your own business
PITA: pain in the ass
ROTFL: rolling on the floor laughing
RTFM: read the fine manual
SOP: standard operating procedure
TIA: thanks in advance
YMMV: your mileage may vary
