Please list them: unless I’m gaming, I don’t use that many, I use Photoshop all the time, the action referring to manipulating images. But not much more beyond that, unless my coworkers are being geeky, then we get long strings of words ending in ax0r. when I’m gaming, I do anything I can to get the message across quickly and concisely. But I don’t have much time for gaming with school.

What is your age?
26

What is your gender?
male

How frequently do you use the internet?
constantly

Please indicate all the online activities that you engage in:

Check Email - always on

Research for school/work. - research for school on small occasion, textbooks are normally enough (but I have several highly specialized books to augment the text)

Browse social websites (i.e. myspace, facebook.) - occasionally and very lightly, and not with any serious interest in the interactions they offer

Entertainment websites (i.e. ebaums, somethingawful,) - more often because someone has sent me a link. I don't generally seek out things like that.

Use internet bulletin boards. - I pretty much just belong to this place.

Commercial activities (i.e. ebay, amazon) - I used to buy lots of movies from different places online, back when I had a really nice job and wasn't a poor college student lol

Online gaming- none

Online chat programs(i.e. aim, msn messenger) - Mostly for contact with good friends, not so much for casual acquaintances... my IM list isn't that big compared to some, but they're people I would care to talk to.

Online chat rooms (i.e. IRC)- None really, outside of the TFP one, which I would frequent even if I weren't a mod.

Examples of words that may have originated from the internet: pwned, l33t, r0xx0red, n00b, googled

How frequently do you utilize or hear words that may have originated on the internet in conversations online?
Please list them:

Probably none, though there may be a few that sneak in... I wouldn't consider "googled" to be on par with gamer/hacker/AOLer/1337 speak like "pwned" and "n00b" and the like. I think "googled" is the only one I use, and it's a very common verb now.

How frequently do you utilize or hear words that may have originated on the internet in conversations offline?
Please list them:[/QUOTE]

None. I hate when people use the word "noob" in person. It's stupid- especially "pwned"... makes me wince at how dumb it seems to actually use it as a real word. I do use some net-originated lingo, but mostly for humorous purposes (and generally for mockery) like saying I saw something "on the internets". It's not because I seriously want to call it "the internets" but because it's a fun sort of mockery to do so, poking fun at those who DO take such things on a more serious (or any kind of serious) level.

My self, I rarely use them. Others, cant say for my self.

on the internet in conversations offline?

Uh, never. Hear them? Once in a while you'll hear some 12 year old, or a 20+ year old who acts like a 12 year old.



*edit*

Come to think of it, terms like googled, and photoshopped would apply for both Online and Offline use.

Typically when I think of internet acronyms bad things come to mind.
