Computer Geek speak
Any of you ever wonder what all the slang terms like BTW, TTT, IMHO, PITA, GMTA and more mean? Gotta say that I recognize some of them off by heart, but there's always a new one that catches me off guard. So I went looking on the web for computer slang. This web page has ads at the top, but if you scroll down, there's a whole wack of computer slang terms that you can use to decipher the acronyms that sometimes get posted and don't make sense.
IAC, HTH when U STW. Anyway IANAL and have found YAA that I'm ROTFLMAO about. Will U CNP? AAR, TFN. BSEG!

I find it difficult to read a post with those acronyms in them. Old school I guess.

I was at a lake & saw a man about to drink water. I shouted: "That's a contaminated lake! You could die from it! He shouted: ( in broken English): I understand you not! I not understand good English!
So... I said "Drink slowly-- the water's cold!!"
JOKE!!!!
