Imho

IMHO. This should probably be in the minor rant thread I think its too important. Can we please have a moratorium on this dreadful acronym, here and on all forums. The Os expressed are are rarely H and almost never M (the poster's). Invariably they are ill considered, knee-jerk reactions with little or no evidence to support them.

Are there any other acronyms that get up peoples nostrils?

I propose a small game - guess the missing word based on IM?O

I'll start. IMAO - what A word am i thinking of here.

[Feral007]

I usually just use IMO since if I was really humble I'd just keep my mouth shut

[veggiechicken]

LOL because its used by some to imply that they have a sense of humour, when clearly they haven't.

[zazen999]

I did a search for IMHO and it was last used in a thread that was posted on last November.

I'm sure it will crop up more often now.

I don't think I've ever used it, use very few acronyms as think they prevent other people from understanding what you are saying without the aid of Google but don't get that wound up about it.

Some others to consider;

Abbreviation #1: whrthfckuben?
Previously long phrase: "Goodness, it's been a long time since we've chatted, hasn't it?"

Abbreviation #2: utypliksht
Previously long phrase: "Say, have you heard that there is a new Evelyn Wood's speed-typing course?"

Abbreviation #3: ugoturhdupyrass?
Previously long phrase: "Are you sure about that?"

Abbreviation #4: sowenugtoutofjail?
Previously long phrase: "So, what have you been up to lately, Bugs?"
