The groups of internet users who loves to chat in online chat room have their own cyberspace language which is now entering the linguistic mainstream. Then we have got 2 neologisms which is "emoticons and netcronyms".

Emoticons is a combination of emotion and icon are used to compensate for the inability to convey voice inflections, facial expressions and body gestures in written communication. Some emoticons are better known as smileys. Emoticons can be very effective toward avoiding misinterpretation of the writer's intents. Most emoticons will look like  a face such as eyes, nose and mouth when rotated 90 degree clockwise.  Meanwhile Netcronyms is a combination of net and acronym. It is similar to emoticons. Both are created for the sake of speedy online written communication. America has loomed large in the generation and control of IT and consequently has had an enormous influence on the cyber language.
