international online jargon

Online jargon is universal and used all over the world in texting, social media, email, blogs, and online postings, etc. Whatever the foreign word for "and" is, the symbol "&" is likely used instead, and the same applies to the @ sign.

Here are some International Texting Guidelines:

• Italian sei 'six' for sei 'you are' for example: dv6 = dove sei 'where are you'
• German acht 'eight' for example: gn8 = gute Nacht 'good night'
• Spanish dos 'two' for example: s12 = saludos 'greetings'
• French sept 'seven' pronounced 'set' for example: k7 = cassette 'cassette'
• Welsh un 'one' for example: 1ig = unig 'only'
• Swedish ett 'one' for example: d1a = detta 'this'
• Norwegian sy 'seven' for example: 7k = sjuk 'sick'
• Persian do 'two' for example: 2nya = donya 'world'
• Hungarian egy 'one' for example: 1ik = egyik 'either'
