hi Community, first of all: I love this site, it is an interesting LearningSite... but I see some difficulties for many people and even I to understand some words that are written: but the meaning is sometimes not understandable So I thought we could start a thread in wich there we write the meaning of the most used acronyms... if it interest you, please write down: I tell here some examples, and the aim of this thread would be to share those "little words":

ppl = people
lol = laugh out loud
np = no problem

So this would be the meaning, but there are very more for example IMAO or so...

help challengers to KNOW

many thanks for the reading

IMAO should be LMAO and stands for Laughing My Ass Off.

IMAO = I Must Ahnilate Operah
or
IMAO = I Milk All Orphans
or better yet
IMAO = im rick james bitch

LMAO

IMHO - in my humble opinion
R O F L (written together - when i do so, it's replaced by a smiley)- rollin' on floor laughing
Edit (Erik): Tell me, why the hell did I made the nosmile-tag??? ROFL <=>

I really don't see the point of creating a thread about acrynoms, there are tons of sites out there which explain all computer related acronyms......

Babylon >> perfect dictonary!

@Inferno, yes you are completely right. Out there, there are many dictionarys or acronyms "explainer" but I just thought to help newbies (i am one of them) to know the meanings of many, many words used in the Forum of www.bright-shadows.net, you know.

@Erik and theblacksheep, ok there is no problem if you want delete this thread. If it is useless/senseless than of cours it should be deleted.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I just wanted to help.
Sorry again
