The Guide and chat ? threads don't help noobs

I've already seen a few dead threads asking for chat help so I'm wondering if anyone will answer my question:

Despite having read everything, I still am uncertain how to properly use squad chat or whisper chat. The guide is very unhelpful. I see / and !! and somewhere else is also so ~! or was it !~. I understand that I have to use these marks in combination with someone's IGN. That much was explained but duuuude, would it hurt to post an actual example?! I'm a total MMO and chat newbie so I really would appreciate even more detail even if it induces eye rolls from the general crowd. Sorry everyone, some people like me are just that stupid and really need their hand held a little bit.

I've whispered to a few players in game but since no-one has whispered back I can't tell if I'm doing it right.

Anyway, please call me an idiot. I'll gladly take the verbal punishment if someone would just help me out here.

    If your message didn't send right in a whisper, I think it say something like "User not online" or something like that. If people don't reply, either they didn't see it, they're AFK, or they just don't want to talk.

    But yeah, after the little mark things (i.e. !!, /(nameheretowhisper)), just type away.
    !!This would be a squad chat and would appear as "This would be a squad chat."
    /Someonesnamehere yourmessagehere would appear to you as "To yournamehere you say: yourmessagehere."

    And so forth.

    You can do all that in the common chat OR if you want to, you can just click on the little tabs above where you type. Also, you don't have to worry about constantly typing in !! or /blahblah or something unless you are in the chat box text thing and backspace/erase it all.

    And now I must smack myself in the face for having asked the stupid question... as I now see that the answer is not very complicated.

    Well, thank you very much.

    also, if you want to whisper some1, you can do so from your friends list (by right clicking their name) or from your chatbox by doing the same (right clicking the name) this works for trade and invites etc aswell. you can also start a messenging section (personal chat) which opens a chatbox for that person
