    I blame Mumsnet for the multiplicity of acronyms and the resulting syntactical inexactitude.

    At least they have an FAQ.

    Cougar – does that mean they have a (single) frequently asked question; shirley if they have multiple questions you should refer to FAQs.
    Standards are slipping; more inexactitude.

    The “Q” is short for “questions.” It’s not a FyAdQs list.

    Though I’ll grant you, “FAQ list” may have been more grammatically accurate.

    Ah, thanks for the clarification.

    I’m waiting for the next lexicographical masterpiece to be posted.

    Don’t look to me – I just use big(ly) words.

    That’s good. Had a chuckle to myself there. Must remember to proof read more/better too. 😀

    I object to lol, on the basis that it’s very likely not accurate.

    I propose we move to mas (mildly amused smirk).

    In the spirit of obligatory STW (oops) pedantry I’d point out that these are all initialisms, not acronyms.

    Hey! I took a break from modding not the sponge.
