                        If "i-w" means "In-World", does "i-f" mean "In-Forum"?   If "afk" means "Away From Keyboard", does "afr" mean "Away From Real Life"?   If "brb" means "Be Right Back", does "ncb" mean "Never Coming Back"?   If "lol" means "Laughing Out Loud", does "wmb" mean "Weeping In My Beer"?   If I can pretend I'm drunk in SL when I'm sober in RL, is the opposite true too?   eclectic eccentric... not just a motto...

                        Nice. I do say OL = Offline Life as opposed to OL = Online Life.    Well, I use SL for that.     An observation I used to wonder about would be all the people partying in a club in SL, only to have their offline counterparts noddy off and pass out at the keyboard.

                        I personally find the use of FL for First Life to be rather jarring as a Floridian. God knows that Florida is not equal to real life.
