Well we've spun all the way around the sun again so it must be time for my annual mention of International Guitar Night. The schedule doesn't seem as extensive this year but they may be coming to a town near you. Well worth going if you get the chance

Oh My God.

Well FFS.

But I'm the guy who thought for a long time that "LOL" meant "Lots Of Love". Luckily I seldom use these acronyms (Is that what they're called?) or I'd end up writing something like, "I heard your dad passed away. LOL".

I've often been tempted to insert a string of random letters into an email and let folks figure them out for themselves.

BRGL!

Jim, I know exactly what you mean. I finally had to ask somebody what lol meant. That seemed to be the beginning of a whole lot of things I didn't get. Not sure how or when that happened. Reminds me of one of my favourite lines from The Simpsons. Bart and Lisa have just told grampa that he's not 'with it'. His reply, 'I used to be with it, but now what I'm with ain't it anymore, and what is it I just think is weird and scary'.

I had a list at one time of what all the abbreviations meant, now I am satisfied using just a few - LOL (laugh out loud,) SMH (smack my head - usually at stupidity,) and ROFLOL (rolling on floor laughing out loud.) I can usually figure out others from context.
