You may have seen various acronyms used on the forums and wondered what they stood for. This non-exhaustive list is to clarify their meanings:


IOW - in other words

IMO - in my opinion

IMHO - in my humble/honest opinion

IIRC - if I remember correctly

AFAIK - as far as I know

ATM - at the moment (also "atinymonkey" on this site in particular)

POV - point of view


Please feel free to add relevant acronyms or query the meaning of any I have missed off.

Umm, the title of the thread is Common Acronyms, reaffirmed in post #13. I submit that one hit on Google between them (zero, if we exclude your use of the term) does not qualify. (Soon to have additional hits once this page is crawled, but I trust the point is clear)
Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum

WTF :huh: :lol:
If only there were evil people somewhere, insidiously committing evil deeds,
and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them;
however, the line between good and evil runs through every human heart.

It is not closed-minded to reject claims that make no sense. If you can’t accept the possibility that an idea might be false, then you are the closed minded one. An open minded person will critically examine all claims but will not accept them if there is no reason to believe they are true or if there is reason to believe they are false.

however one must realize that every thing starts in a default belief and requires a burden of proof for the default belief to be abandoned. it would not make sense for believing in positive statements' validity so the only remaining is to not believe a positive statement until proof evidence is presented.

It's Opening Post or Opening Poster, typically.
"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free."-Valerie(V for Vendetta)

‎"Scientism" is the pejorative those who believe in magic give to Empiricism so they can pretend making stuff up is on equal footing with Science.
