well, http://kingdomofloathing.com's chatbox at least. Doesn't Xirc also do /em ? "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Dark Ages of Camelot used `/em`. I prefer `/me` (since you can actually read what you're typing and you'll get the right person for your verbs), but I recognize that some might be used to `/em`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yeah, I don't see a problem with implementing it. I've seen enough different people type "/em" to realize that it must be a somewhat common meme in other circles. - tye	[reply]

Though on the other hand, how much more fun would it be if we made '/em' an alias to "/me makes a typo while saying that /me !"? <grin> If God had meant us to fly, he would never* have given us the railroads. --Michael Flanders	[reply]

I must be getting old. I always thought 'em was was a colloquialism of them.	[reply]
