View Full Version : Meaning of acronyms
I have recently received email from several folks asking about the acronyms used by so many of us. I just found another website that has them posted. The old ones I had seem to be all gone. Don't know how long this one will last, but if you have questions on what such things as lol or obtw mean, take a look at this link:
