OK guys, here's your chance to poke fun at me. Where does one find the definition of the abreviations used on this forum? I hate to read a line over and over to figure out what they are talking about when they use these abbreviations. Examples: PM, IMO, GF, BTW, HJT, CN, WOC. I guess I don't frequent this forum as much as some of you guys to know what they are talking about. If I don't ask, I won't find out. So, what say you?

Thanks guys for your responses. That helps a lot. XPUser's suggestion definitely gave it all to me. Now you can all LOL at me.

Personally I think that Justin should consider barring acronyms from CN. A person asking for help should do everything he/she can, to make her problem perfectly clear and understandable. People who use '2' for 'to' and similar shortcuts, really irritate me.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

"People who use '2' for 'to' and similar shortcuts, really irritate me."
Me too. Not so much acronym as witless usage. If some of these folks "think" like they write "sentences", small wonder they have problems.

I am with Ham30 all the way, its childish, stupid and downright laziness. Something that intrigues me is the atrocious spelling, grammar and punctuation used in some posts, given that many computer/internet functions rely on these three parameters, how the devil do they get on?

Saying that XP is the most stable MS OS is like saying that asparagus is the most articulate vegetable

From Jboy's link:
WBMBF
Wanna Be My Boy FriendOne I often wondered about myself was MILF and now I know from the same link.
and
WOCAB
Who, Of Course, Are b---tardsI guess that would cover the OP's (Original poster's) question of WOC (Who of course?).

Heh - I never understood that one even when it was spelled out

Bryco, I can almost 100% gurantee that you're NOT a MILF! That's TOO funny. :)

is my current favourite!!Although I doubt I can say MCIBTYC to most ppl here
Most of my mistakes are cos I work hard, am usually very tired and fail to proofread properly, In my mind i read what it should be not what it actually is and why do we need capital letters anyway????
WoofAlways proof-read carefully to see if you any words out.

My alltime favourite is FIGJAM.
