Poll question: What Internet Shorthand Do You Use Most?
This is, of course, a poll especially for us old folks who remember Usenet before it was just for porn...

For me, lately, it's been IIRC (If I Recall Correctly).

Of course, that's mostly because of my advancing age, and the onset of (to use a non-internet acronym) C.R.S. (Can't Remember Sh*t) :)

5. IANAL = "I Am Not A Lawyer"
But I think it should add BIPOOTV = "But I Play One On TV".

6. My personal downfall
Edited on Thu Aug-21-03 10:41 AM by dolo amber
was when some British friends turned me onto FFS. For F*ck's Sake. Comes in altogether too handy for it's own good and since it's sparsely known in these parts, I'm constantly having to explain myself. DUers, you've been warned! :)


edit: rubbish typing
