I use very few myself so am not really the one to ask.  It may help clarify
the meaning of my messages a bit sometimes if I did but I'm 40 now and
unlikely to change my ways I am told so there you are.

 

Google could be a good place as always to start searching but if you go to
msn live and press jaws key with d you will see a good load of both
emoticons and abbreviations.  I'd not seem most of them but I don't look out
for or use them either.

 

Cheers

 

Graham

I love emoticons.  Are there stocks of them available other than in
Messenger?   I'd like to know how to build a puzzled one, or a sarcastic
one, or a frightened one, just for instance.  Someone sent me a wolf
laughing the other day; that was quite good.

Thanks as always for tolerating my below-par post!  ;-)

I wonder if you can turn it off though.?

 

While in an msn message, press insert d to bring up the dictionary.  There
are loads of emoticons and then a whole stack of abbreviations. I bet you've
never used three quarters of them or more unless you are a real msn head!

 

Cheers

Maybe there are particular abbreviation extenders for messaging, when such
acronyms are most commonly used.  I'm impressed that JAWS does this,
personally.

Hi Graham,

 

I'd be very surprised if "bak" files were anything else but backup files.
It's a very old and longstanding convention to name a previous copy of a
file with a .bak extension.  Many programs still use it such as the
mathematical software I am currently using at present for math braille.

 

George.

Hi all.

 

Using JAWS 11 with windows 7 and windows live messenger.

 

Was having a  conversation yesterday in which someone asked me what bak
files were.  When you type Bak in a Windows Live Messenger message JAWS says
Back at the keyboard. I can only imagine this is used as an abbreviation
sometimes  so it's not a bug.  LTr is Long Term Relationship but cr does not
say Casual relationship!  

 

Would these be in the associated jdf file?
