Would you all PLEASE stop using acronyms, initials and abbreviations. Some of us have no idea what they mean and it could leave us quite unenlightened by what you are posting.

I come here to learn, be educated. But often some of the smarty pants's little clumps of initials are utterly meaningless to me. If you can't be bothered to write properly, don't trouble me with gibberish!! I'm an old man desperate for knowledge, not text challenges.
Stop it!

Dennis - here's a few for you to learn

GPS = Global Positioning System ;)
RTFM = read the 'flipping' manual
IMHO / IMO = in my humble opinion / in my opinion
AFAIR = as far as i remember
AFAIK = as far as i know
Laughing Out Loud = laugh out loud (i.e. something is funny)
ROFL = rolling on floor laughing
LMAO = laughing my 'backside' off

not sure what other acronyms you have encountered but feel free to add them and i'll try decipher them!

Hirvevarra (one of the few bits of Welsh I DO know) = Welsh bloke in the East Riding of Yorkshire, somewhere near Hull or Bridlington.
