Acronyms
« on: February 23, 2004, 12:22:37 PM »
Occasionally I'll run across acronyms (sp?) in these threads that I don't recognize. Sometimes I can look at the context in which they're used and figger 'em out. But there've been a few times my pea-brain just can't get wrapped around 'em. So, let's see your fav/ most-used short-cuts. I'll start off with:

lol = obvious

FWIW = for what it's worth

YMMV = your mileage may vary
