Amazing...

However, I’m curious as how to distinguish these:

WTF : What The Fuck
WTF : WOW, THAT'S FANTASTIC!
wtf : want to fuck? (edit by m1ck3r.)
wtf : Work Time Fun
wtf : Wonderful Tact Friend
wtf : Where's the fudge?

What if i use WTF to say “WOW, THAT'S FANTASTIC!” but people
interpret it as the other WTF ? That is kind of dangerous, right ?
