I just had to explain to my boss what "*g*" means. I forwarded something to him with a note that said "And I'm coming right in to talk to you about this. *g*" because our offices are right next door and it seemed kind of silly. That was two hours ago. He just called me in to ask, "What does star gee star mean?" And then I had to explain.

What really freaks me out is: he's not that much older than I am. He lives, you know, in the world. Why does he not know this? Is it generally not known? I mean, my dad knows what "*g*" means. Although possibly because I told him. So...does BossMan live in a bubble, or am I completely divorced from reality or like a teeny-bopper net-speaker omg lolz?

Well, as long as someone writes a book on it, I'll be happy. It really is fascinating. :)

*very much looking forward to her Text And Hypertext module next semester*

Oh, god, I wanted to be a linguistics major. So badly. ::is jealous:: Ah well. What are you going to learn about in that one?

Oh, I'm not a lingustics major either; just a humble English Lit student taking a few extra modules. *grin*

As for what I'm learning in that one- well, the Uni webpage (http://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/undergrad/modules/module/sel208) probably explains it better than I can. Basically, it covers everything from how writing was first developed back in Mesopotamia, to modern web design skills. Should be good!

(Thanks for the chat, though, saturnalia.)
