There's been a lot of abbreviations that I'm not sure I understand. Internet language
 Was just gonna ask for the "imo" and what i believe to be conductions of it "imho" and "imnsho" As I am still new to these I can only guess, but what I thought "imnsho" means when I read it.. just a feeling based guess... My first thought was "in my no-shít honest opinion"  am i anywhere near the truth?  Sometimes all the abbreviations royally bug me, cuz it of course makes understanding what is said even more difficult, but at times the quessing can be fun

IMO - in my opinion
IMHO - in my honest (or humble) opinion IMNSHO - in my not so honest (or humble) opinion. (but I kind of like your interpretation Neri. )

As others have stated before me, the "IMO" abbreviation simply means "In My Opinion", with other variations used daily (ie: IMHO, IMNSHO, etc...)
For more acronyms and/or abbreviations, you can try here . This is a relatively full list of the ones I've seen around, but as you can imagine new ones are discovered daily and just requires some imagination. |

I know, i try to just figure them out by studying how it is used in sentences. But it can be difficult because this isn't my first language and I can't be as creative with it as I would like
Btw I liked my interpretation better

(((((((Yo Neri!
 ))))))))))Don't feel so bad......first, I had to learn the entire military lingo in the Army; then I ran into the MASSIVE wall of medical terminology;acronyms;abbreviation & symbols.....   OMG! NOW.......there's this "forum terminology" I remember my first on-line forum group......I just sat there scrolling down all the postings saying "Wha?"   I just have to guess sometimes & sometimes you can just slide on by  Regardless, FYI......it's all crazy!   LOL, DAYZEE!!

I'm with you Neri. I only use a couple abbreviations, lol and brb. If I don't know what an abbreviation means, then I just don't know what's being said! Too much for de brain!!! Lol.

Same here Neri,
I learned all of the aerospace engineering acronyms with no problem, & from that came most of the military acronyms from those I worked with. This is like worse that a foreign language...I was getting around Italy fluently after 5 weeks & for kicks, I would sit in church & translate the sermon into spanish...but this...leaves me in the dark so many times because it flys by so many times in chat leaving saying "what the...?" I am slowly getting a little wiser, & appreciate the links so I can further my education here so I don't feel like such a dunce. Thank you neri for bringing this up, & thank you minolwen & sky for providing places to further our education. Debbie

Remember when in chat you can "save" the chat.. and while you might not want to save it forever (to the word processing program on your computer) you can click on the 3 1/2" floppy icon on the bottom to save it.. while still in chat that allows you to "READ BACK" in the chat ; to reread anything you might have missed.
Trying to read back from the chat screen won't work since every time someone says something, the screen jumps back to the last comment.

LMAO Thanks so much for bringing this up. I only know the simple ones. I have learned something tonight. I recall that years ago I sent a list of internet lingo to a friend who was in her 80's. Wonder what has changed since then.
Thank you again
