I like using abbreviations a lot in my posts. I wouldn't expect anyone here to use them and I try to curtail their use myself, but I thought I'd post them here and see if they catch on at all. Here are some of the more common ones: YMMV - Your mileage may vary IMO - In my opinion IMHO - In my honest/humble opinion IMNSHO - In my not so humble opinion LOL - Laughing out loud ROFL - Rolling on floor, laughing ROFLMAO - Rolling on floor, laughing my (stubborn donkey) off AFAIK - As far as I know AFAIC - As far as I'm concerned FWIW - For what it's worth HTH - Hope this helps IOW - In other words JK,jk,j/k - Just kidding OT - Off topic POV - Point of view RTFM - Read the "Fine" manual Naturally there are tons more where those came from, but these are the most common in my experience. HTH.

http://www.anapsid.org/internet/smileys.html#abbrev (FriarJohn's Link)  TTBOMK (to the best of my knowledge) TANSTASQ (there ain't no such thing as a stupid question). SOW (speaking of which), YGLT (you're gonna love this ), OTTOMH (off the top of my head), NTYMI (now that you mention it), IMHO (in my humble opinion), TCGOFE (this could go on for ever). AFAIC (as far as I'm concerned), it's TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it). ROTFLOLSTC (rolling on the floor, laughing out loud - scared the cat!), Soren

..my oversight;
The worldwide most popular of all street encounter slang talk
WDTSMTA - When Did They Start Making Triumph Again?
Use this acronym and it will cut down on fuel stop times, thereby increasing valuable road time.
