I saw Dan's comment about the use of acronyms and can commiserate with

him... I had no idea what they were when I first started communicating

online, but the medium sure spawns their use, as they're fequently used as

shorthand modifiers to get the point across or identify one's position.

Like emoticons, those little sideways smiley faces 8-), they seem to sneak

in everywhere.  ICYWW (In Case You Were Wondering)...



AAMOF       As a matter of fact

CYA         Cover your a__

FWIW        For what it's worth

IMHO        In my humble opinion

OTOH        On the other hand

WAG         Wild a__ Guess

WYSIWYG     What You See Is What You Get

YGIAGAM     Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

YMMV        Your Mileage May Vary



Oh yeah, if you read something and it's intent was lighthearted or

tongue-in-cheek, you might see a <g>, which is a <grin>, or a <G> which is

a <big grin>.  I've got a huge list of these things, but these are probably

the ones that will sneak in most frequently.
