christina answered Sunday April 8 2007, 11:00 am: I usually use it as a seperator. Like in my profile on aim you'd see something like this:
"friends || i love you guys."
Or something like that. Sometimes I use it to seperate the links, and sometimes I use it to seperate the words I put in there. But it can mean a lot of things. Like theymos said, that's the absolute value sign in Math. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
xlivelaughlov3x answered Sunday April 8 2007, 3:46 am: the line you see next to "i love you" is a heart in HTML format. If you kno a lot about that you know that if you type in ♥ that heart appears but if you use firefox or an internet server familiar to that you dont see the heart instead you see that line. hope were talking about the same thing, && hope i helped =] [ xlivelaughlov3x's advice column | Ask xlivelaughlov3x A Question ]
theymos answered Sunday April 8 2007, 3:10 am: | is the pipe character. In computing, it means "or". In math it means "absolute value". I've never seen anyone say "i love |", and since it isn't immediately apparent what it means, there is no value in saying it. I suppose it could mean "I love you absolutely", after absolute value, but that's a a stretch. Why don't you ask the person you saw saying it? [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
