UOK?

are you OK?

Some B1FFisms (notably the variant

spelling d00d) appear to be passing into wider use

among some subgroups of MUDders.

One final note on talk mode style: neophytes, when in talk

mode, often seem to think they must produce letter-perfect prose

because they are typing rather than speaking. This is not the

best approach. It can be very frustrating to wait while your

partner pauses to think of a word, or repeatedly makes the same

spelling error and backs up to fix it. It is usually best just to

leave typographical errors behind and plunge forward, unless

severe confusion may result; in that case it is often fastest

just to type "xxx" and start over from before the mistake.
