Common acronyms I've seen:
IMO/IMHO In my opinion / In my humble/honest opinion
ROTFL Rolling on the floor laughing
LOL Laughing out loud
ROTFLMOL Rolling on the floor laughing madly out loud
RTFM Read the friendly manual (Other words can be used for
"friendly")
TTYL Talk to you later
PMJI Pardon my jumping in
BTW By the way
AFAIK As far as I know
IIRC If I recall correctly
ASAP As soon as possible
COBOL Completely Obsolete Boring Old Language (Okay, this was a
joke I read... ;)
Well, those are all I can think of right now.
If you don't like all the acronyms, contact AAAAA. (American Association
Against Acronym Abuse.) Their motto, "Down with TLAs!" (Three letter
acronyms)
Okay, that was two jokes I had put into one.... I'll be quiet now. :)
