Ok guys and gals .
I have spent hours going through forum posts and some are down right hilarious [laugh4][upsidedown] especially when I put my own interpretation on your abbreviations and acronyms.
Some are just plain [confused2].I reckon some people just make up their own for the fun of it.
How about posting here your interpretation of all abbs and acrothingies as a glossary so the rest of us mere mortals can understand what yer sayin [blink]
Cheers,
GregHi everyone,
so far I have worked out every abbreviation etc with the exception of LOL. In my experience, LOL means either lots of love; or in the industry I used to work in, little old lady.
So shine some light on me[blink]

PMFJI, but IWFM because IIRC, FYI AFAIK a while ago this topic came up and ISTM, FWIW, that all these acronyms are IMHO not APITA at all but a lot of ROFLOL and I say this SFTH: RTFM WRT you- and BFYK you’ll soon say, (instead of WTF) OIC; IOW IWFM and you’ll be able to B&T without FUD, AAMOF!
BTW, IAE, this was all TIC.
TTFN
WEG

So what you are saying is:
“Pardon me for jumping in, but it works for me because if I recall correctly, for your information as far as I know a while ago this topic came up and it seems to me, for what its worth, that all these acronyms are in my honest/humble opinion not a pain in the a..se at all but a lot of rolling on the floor laughing out loud and I say this straight from the heart: read the f…king manual with respect you- and BFYK you’ll soon say, (instead of what the f…k) Oh I see; in other words it works for me and you’ll be able to BS and Type without fear, uncertainty and doubt, as a matter of fact!
by the way, in any event, this was all tongue in cheeck.
Tata for now
wicket evil grinClose? there’s a couple I didn’t work out, but they’ll come to me in time.[biggrin]

I tend to like the over use (abuse???) of !!!! and ???? that so many find annoying!!! [blink]
But my real favourite is IMHO, which was explained to me as being In My Honest Opinion, when in fact, I was later correctly informed as being In My HUMBLE Opinion, hence to avoid any upset, I just use IMO (plain old, In My Opinion) which is good enough and is still both honest and humble, just not stated!!!! [biggrin]
Cheers,
