What does it all mean..................

Garden Railroading

Hi guys,
Not really a topic but I do need help on this. What do all these darn abreviations mean??? I don’t mean the railway ones I’m on about the BTW, LOL, IMHO ones. I suspect the last means ‘in my honest opinion’ but I don’t really know. Can someone post up a list of all these computer speak terms for me so I don’t have to ask again.
Cheers,
Kim

BTW - By the way
LOL - Laughing out loud
IMHO - would say you have that one right.

I asked the same question on another forum and this is what they said.

BTW means…by the way. LOL means…laughing out loud.

These were the only two I asked about.

common usage on the 16mm group I belong too.
Hence it keeps sliping in.
