    About this ebook

    This dictionary is the first of its kind written by world renowned Internet Marketing expert Tim Beachum. It was inspired by the death of a young girl who was murdered by an Internet predator. Her life could have been spared if her parents would have understood the lingo that she was using while chatting online.

    It is the hopes of Mr. Beachum and his team that parents, teachers and other educators use this book as a tool to prevent such things from happening again. If this dictionary can keep one individual safe or prevent something dangerous from happening to another persons child then we will be happy.

    All funds raised from the sales of this book will go towards keeping kids safe online. Thank you for your purchase.

      The mother would frequently check her daughters chat log to make sure that everything was appropriate. She over looked the various smiley faces (known as emoticons) and the various acronyms as harmless teenager slang.

      It was not until her daughter came up missing that she discovered, that those strange little acronyms had meaning. If only she knew the meaning at the time, her daughter would still be alive today.

      My first thought was to create a little cheat sheet that I could distribute online. I began researching the various acronyms and it is mind boggling to discover how many acronyms are being used in the different communities online.
