ROFL, LMBO, LOL, all these acronyms have something in common. They all symbolize laughing. The simplest being LOL, meaning laughing out loud and the more complex being ROFL, suggesting one might be rolling on the floor laughing. In a chat room, seeing such acronyms is not strange; in fact, it is quite normal. In the world of instant messaging the English language is stripped of punctuation, grammar, spelling, and even sometimes vowels (to the horror of educators). This week we are going to explore IMing and how to use it properly.

- Comprehension - Cause and
Effect - A Cause is an event or an action that makes something
happen. An effect is something that happens because of an event or an action. Sometimes cause-and-effect relationships are stated.
- Vocabulary - Homographs - are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations. Homographs also have separate entries in the dictionary.

means "wrong." These clusters are not always prefixes. Examples
- uncle, missile, and reaching
