Swedish term or phrase: i mes
From a work satisfaction survey:
Om man slapp sitta vid datorn o knappa en massa i mes...

I think it's IMs, but the spelling is so strange, I thought I'd better check it out with you all.

Tack för hjälpen!

Explanation:
The abbreviation seems to be used in Swedish even though it is an English phrase. I can't see that "mes" in this context can be any of the usual meanings; does this make sense instead?

Explanation:
This is Swedish computer slang.

"i mes" should in this context mean "e-messages".
