23 Feb 00 - 03:04 AM (#183232) Subject: RE: Help: What's YMMV mean in e-mail-talk? From: Joe Offer Hey, we used to have great "discussions" at the dinner table, and I'd often get up three times during a meal to get a book to prove my point. My kids always accused me of cheating. Better to argue from a point of ignorance, they thought. Now my daughter works in a library, and I can't win an argument with her any more, not ever. The boys are still kinda dumb. -Joe Offer- |

24 Feb 00 - 02:32 AM (#183913) Subject: RE: Help: What's YMMV mean in e-mail-talk? From: canoer Way up there, Snuffy asked about usage. If you come back, Snuf, YMMV was in an answer to my question about 80/20 bronze guitar strings, and it referred to how long certain ones might last and how pleasing or not-pleasing certain ones might be. The writer cited his experience and said, YMMV, which I now take to mean, "Don't expect your experience to exactly duplicate mine." I'm learning all kinds of things in Mudcat Station. :-) |

25 Feb 00 - 01:50 AM (#184546) Subject: RE: Help: What's YMMV mean in e-mail-talk? From: Barbara Snuffy, I think canoer has the right of it. Originally YMMV is someting you find on the sticker price label on the window of a new car. Here, and I imagine elsewhere, the sticker always has the projected milage numbers in BIG numbers, with the caveat underneath -- "your milage may vary" or " actual milage may vary by 10%" or something similar.
