I finally have to ask what all the abbreviations that appear in replys mean: ttt, bump et all? thanks in plain english.

 

No ****. I say the same thing all the time. Spelling is so much of a task. Weird A world anymore.

 

TTT = to the top, it moves a thread up in the date que.

Bump is basically the same thing.

1 or the other is allowed once a month, extras are deleted.

 

Thread bumps are typically used by people trying to sell something. After a day or so the thread doesn't show up in your "What's new" view. A new post in that thread (TTT or Bump or whatever) makes it show up in the What's new list again.

 

These are the ones I’ve deciphered so far . Glws =good luck with the sale.imo = in my opinion. Fwiw=for what it’s worth.of course the old standards in texting : lol,tmi,nvm,and the list goes on . if I stare at it long enough I can usually figure it out. I’m guilty of using some of them myself but usually like to spell it out

 

ffs lol, j/k. Here is a popular one on here MAW=might as well. IMHO=in my humble opinion.

 

i like phil's take on modern family of wtf,why the face?

 

Why is abbreviation such a long word with so many letters??? Just sayin' FWIW😎

 

Lazy *** world. Spell a f***ing word.

 

These abrev's are drvng me crzy .

 

Charlie, you are old school just like me. We don't care to use hip buzzwords to sound cool.

 

Old School. Class of 1968 .

 

LTP is one frowned upon here, but you can say it to for sale ads with 25 'TTT' bumps.

Lower The Price.

 

I hate them all. Spell the damn words.

 

The military has been using abbreviations for many decades without complaints. The world is forever changing and adapting to acronyms seems to be the least of our concerns in my humble opinion.
