Dear Forum attenders... I'm not used to some of the short-hands that you are using sometimes, and I'd like to ask for their meanings, if possible... I know that "FYI" is "For your Info"... "IMO" is probably "In My Opinion", and in "IMHO", the "H" is "Humble" perhaps, is it not so..? Then, what is "BTW"..? Thanx in advance...

what about DP?

"DP" is "Digital Perverts" perhaps..? LOL... BTW, I was thinking "LOL" to be as "Lots of laugh"... So, "TY" to all of you... :) Of course, anyother contribution is also welcome...
