I never spent much time on blogs and forums until I got wrapped up with the gun forums. It's taken me quite a while to figure out what all the shortcut abbreviations stand for:

LOL
LMAO
ROTFLMAO
IMO
IMHO
IMNSHO
IIRC
OTOH
IOW

ETC, ETC, ETC...

Jeez, I suppose any 12 yr old would jump on these immediately, but some of them I've puzzled over for a long time. Sometimes it's just easier to spell them out.

Look up "text messaging abbreviations" on the webopedia site.

You still got me on about half of those. But then again I never really cared. Most cases the add-ons are just a waste of type space (ether-space?)
What about FCOL, or ODTR ---

I'm glad they have this.... IIRC is a common one but I never knew what it was...
