Subject: RE: BS: What does lol mean, please?
JO, thanks for the laugh!

I looked at the thread & back at the link I put in. Some acronyms have been around so long that no one thinks about them any more: CEO, PC, my SO, FAQ, GIGO, KISS. Others are newer but pretty widely used: LOL, IMHO, AFAIK, IIRC, WYSIWYG are all ones I know pretty well at sight.

Then there are the ones, like all the winkies & smilies, simply made up for the dictionary that no one really uses. TDMATBICPLY indeed! [:-{) SPAW, what does NYCFTTS mean? What does SPAW stand for?

Live on Luck.
