This is, by far, an incomplete list of terminology that one may find used on Scubaboard, but for people not all that saavy with the internet or message boards, this may help. Taken off MSN.com on 11-14-05. This is actually a list of IM lingo, but some applies. Feel free to list your on additions also, I can already think of a few that aren't here. Mods, move this thread if it can be placed in a better location.
