For the thick and dense like me, or anyone curious to know what all the strange acronyms like LOL, IMHO, etc. stand for in forum messages ...
Here's a link to a dictionary of them:

I dont think that makes you dense or thick nowandthen, i think the acronyms change daily as ppl want to use them, I know personally, i make things up as is convenient and then explain myself!!
I wrote one of those dictionaries for my personal website years ago and I know it got a lot of hits :)

Here's another one that I was given some time back to help with the abreviations in posts. - it works by lead letter.

I didn't realise there were so many abbreviations you can use. Whatever happened to simple writing? :)

Thanks so much for putting this on the forum - I wanted to ask but didn't want to show just how stupid and old I am. Now I can join in!

Never feel afraid about posting an uncertainty krystal - you wont learn if you dont ask - and just as you have found the answer through this thread, you can also see there are others in the same boat.

Everyone doesnt know everything - even though there are some that think they do! ;)

Love your avatar. My neighbour got one, who's normally a very well behaved little dog, except when he sees me. He goes absolutely berserk - possibly because I gave him too much attention as a little puppy!
