Re: Do You Use ‘Forum Lingo’?

Not really Forum Lingo, but I do put some deliberet misspellings in to give the pretence that I'm not perfect and to give JBR something to do, since he loves correcting them.

I hate wasting my time trying to figure out what initials stand for, that to me is laziness on a forum.

Pixie, Thanks for that. I would never have thought of ‘significant other’.

* lingo

the language and speech, especially the jargon, slang, or argot, of a particular field, group, or individual
** hardly is another one of my preferred adverbs .....

Both, AFAIK, are part of the "Queen's English" .....

Yes, I think so too, Arty. Its probably for those people who are in same sex relationships, or "gender fluid"

Mags, There should be an ‘Abbreviation Section’ on here that we can refer to, to find out their meanings!
