Sadly, many computer nerds are too lazy to spell out complete words. It's their way of proclaiming their own compu-culture and thumbing their noses at ancient modes of communication (for example, proper English sentences). Many of these sorts also refuse to capitalize the first letter in a sentence. By doing that, you see, they're rebels, kind of like James Joyce a century or so ago. Of course, most of these compu-nerds don't know who James Joyce is, but that is another topic altogether.

No, no. That acronym would then be IMDO. I only give honest opinions. Not humble, honest.

So, Shane, ya seem to uh, you know, like the comma?

Do you know how the Harvard comma is used?

Standard:

We bought red, blue, black and green balls.

Harvard comma:

LOL...Laugh out Loud. As I am reading some of this thread!

DH = Dear Husband
GTG = Get Together

ROTFLOL = Rolling on the floor laughing out loud.

GTG can also mean good to go, as in "we're packed, we have tickets, we're good to go."

I've noticed that GTG always means get together on this board. But when my kids IM or send text messages it means got to go.
