If I knew what you want to say?

Quote

An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word, usually individual letters (as in NATO or laser) and sometimes syllables (as in Benelux).

I think the op was referring more to:

 

AFAIK - as far as I know

IMO - in my opinion

IMHO - in my humble opinion

FWIW - for what it's worth

LMAO - laughed my ***off

Etc, etc ?

 

I know some of them but admit to having to ask Mr Google on occasion.

As we are in a Thailand related forum and not in the IT/social media area I assumed different.

So I wait for the thread starter to explain.

This internet/chat stuff is boring and done to death with endless lists on the net.

Yes I agree these abbreviations are annoying but I thought maybe that's what he was referring to.

OP ?? Help us out here ??

Yeah so how do you pronounce NCPO NLA MRT BTS RTP as words then? These aren't acronyms. Yes, I'm a pedant!

A couple of oldies, my dad told me about :whistling:

 

BURMA - Be Undressed Ready My Angel

 

SWALK - Sealed With A Loving Kiss

 

... and talking of KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.
