The Dictionary

NetLingo has thousands of definitions that explain the online world of business, technology, and communication including the largest collection of Internet acronyms and text messaging shorthand ;-) We cater to students, teachers, parents, gamers, designers, techies, bloggers, journalists, and industry professionals worldwide.

Get started by clicking on terms to the left! You will see word names, pronounciations, acronyms, and definitions with links that are cross-referenced to other words in the dictionary. You will also see these guides:

	The "links" image means there are one or more Web sites with products and information about the same topic. We keep links up-to-date, relevant, and useful ;-)
	The "download" image means there are one or more programs available for download (usually free) which correspond to the definition. You can go straight to the source of technology here.
	The "search" image means there is a link with a preassigned search string relating to the topic. We've done the search work for you! Our recommended keyword search will appear on the search site along with the results.
	The "more info" button means you can access additional information on that subject. We encourage you to ALWAYS click on the "more info" button when you see it in a definition!
	The "FAQ" button means you can access a list of "frequently asked questions" about that particular subject.
	The "done" button in the dictionary will take you back to this page of the dictionary; the "done" button on the rest of the site will usually take you back to the homepage. When you see double-underlined links and banners, this is advertising that is tailored to fit the context. Please visit our advertisers. Thank you for using NetLingo!
