This one narks me no end, as in the time it takes to write (sp) they could've googled the word to check the spelling!

Agree completely!

I also have one...... 'QR', which I sometimes see at the beginning of a post. It's not in the list of acronyms posted in SR.

QR is Quick Reply - ie not directly responding to the poster before you.


So if I said: 'What a twonk' I would preface it with QR to make it clear I wasn't talking about you, Frodo, but something in the initial post.

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Aaaaah I've understood. Thank you so much Cave Canem.

No worries! These acronyms are a minefield
