Okay, English is not my native language although I can understand it pretty well and recently I've noticed the increased use of "abbreviations" (don't think that's the right word here).
I´m talking about things like IMHO. It took me a while to understand that it meant "in my humble opinion". Then there is IIRC which I have no idea what means. There are others I can't remember at the moment. Is there a translation list of these things somewhere? Could someone post a list if the these things they use the most?
I want to underline that I´m in no way annoyed by this. I just want to learn what these things mean so I don't have to guess in the blanks.

Ahhh! Thank you very much! It would have taken me quite a while to figure that one out.
People have been using that one quite a lot IIRC (see, it works! ;)

I generally use IMO, rather than IMHO, since my opinion is never humble. :) Simply put, there are two ways of doing things: The wrong way Sam's way :D

Acronyms! That's the word I didn't know which made searching for it a difficult task. Thank you for the links.

Here's three you need to know around here:
NVIATWAS - naked viki in a temple with a sword
LBA - Large Breast Alert
PJCOM - poser just crashed on me (I'm really surprised this one doesn't exist yet)

Nother useful one for computer types is RTFM. :) One we used back in my tech support days was EMD = External Mouse Driver. Generally the cause of most computer problems.

In my tech support days we used PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer) fairly often.
