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?

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.
Yes I do have a hat with a large D on it.

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

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.

To add my favourite,

TLA = Three Letter Abbreviation

I thank you for this bit of information.

It is possible to learn on STW still! 🙂
