Hi! Well, I agree on "knowing information" part, sometimes it's good to know does person you're chatting with uses shorts or full phrases, but... There's one more thing... If we put shorts aside for a second, there's also a question of smileys and other types of emoticons, and that is also a matter of script dictionary. What are we going to do about it? If Doug accepts my suggestion for choice of using dictionary there will be no problem.. Who wants it, he has it. Who doesn't want it, he won't have it and that's it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "orhan deniz" <[email protected]> To: "a list for discussing skype and its use with screen accesssoftware." <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 6:38 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Script Dictionary
