The Internet is in its early days, so its influence on English spelling has hitherto been very limited. Some of its services (chat, texting, Twitter, social networking) have popularised some old abbreviations (such as c for see, u for you, 2 for to) and introduced a few new ones (such as lol), but these are largely restricted to the technology context in which they arose, and are only occasionally encountered in the wider orthographic world. Novelties, whose long-term effect on the language remains to be seen, include minimalist or zero capitalisation in messages (no sentence-initial capital, the use of i for the pronoun I), the use of repeated letters (I’m sooooooo happy), and the replacement of normal letters by other symbols, as seen in @command, Micro$oft, AO£ (‘AOL’), d00dz (‘dudes’), and c%%l (‘cool’). We are used to apostrophes in names (O’Malley) but not usually exclamation marks (Yahoo!).
