    As I have only been looking at these pages since I got man flu a few weeks back can someone tell me what an OP is, also an IMO and an IIRC?

    If I Recall Correctly they are acronyms, Original Poster. Hope That Helps.

    They confuse me at times and I only have some figured out:

    OP = Either original poster or opening poster
    IMO = Im my opinion
    IMHO = In my humble opinion
    IIRC = If I recall correctly
    IME = In my experience
    HTH = Hope this helps
    THX = I am a lazy bugger and can’t be bothered to type thank you.
    TYVM = I am a really lazy bugger and can’t be bothered to type thank you very much.

    Something like that anyway. 🙂

    Edit: I am slow and useless! 😮

    Ok while I am parading around like the village idiot how do you put a bit of another post in yours and how about a picture like the Stop That one.

    You don’t. Unless you’re foreign. An acronym has to be a pronounceable word, you know, like laser, radar, naafi, hotas, arc, etc.

    Anything not pronounceable (that is made up from the letters of a phrase) is an initialism.

    That’s my understanding too.

    I thank you for this bit of information.

    It is possible to learn on STW still! 🙂
