description Based on a sample of comments gleaned from the Onet.pl portal, the author discusses positive and negative evaluations (axiological charge) found in internet language, and she examines some of the language devices used in such evaluations.

Internet users resort to all sorts of language devices to signal evaluative functions, a number of them are marked and illustrate a colloquial style.
