Any idea what the conversation above is about? Can you translate it into 'normal' english? This dictionary site should help you. You should also ask Kat or Kamil for the puzzle page of frequently used acronyms. When you think you know them all, try to use as many as you can in an email (or blogpost), and then post it on your blog. Remember to show it to your teachers!

Finish the Project & Internet Jargon

Hi Guys,
Today we want to finish all our Front Page files and save them to the same place so that it is easy to upload them. If you have finished that, you can work on the internet acronyms sheet I'll give you. Start by trying to understand the conversation below! Use this site to help you. When you think you know them all, try to as many as you can in a blog post (you can do it like a letter or email if you like).
Of course, if you have time, you should write another blog post - there are some questions from yesterday (scroll down to look) to help you, or you can write about anything that you want to.
