Thank you for giving us that information about Twitter lingo. I admit that I am ignorant of most of those nuances contained in your list and maybe it is high time that I begin to learn about it. To be honest, I am not using much my Twitter account because I feel like it is a duplicate of Facebook. Besides, I am not really spending much time in social media so I am sticking to Facebook for now.
