Hello Everyone

I am putting together a FAQ which explains what the abbreviations mean, not only astral-related but the normal ones, such as IMO (In My Opinion).

However... I don't know very many  :lol:

Can we get a list going from y'all, and I'll add them to mine.  So far I have

IMO
IMHO (is that humble or honest - or both/either?)
LMAO (errrm, can I say the A word on here?)
LMHO (H being head)
ROFLMAO
ROFLMHO
RTZ

And that's about it as a first stab...  *Sarah looks down at her toes, embarrassed*

If you know more, please add them here and in a week or so, I'll put them all together and make a FAQ.

Thank you in advance for your kind co-operation.  :grin:

Sarah

There are many sites that list these, http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm being one example.
A search for 'email abbreviations' will turn up a few more :)
