What do all these acronyms stand for ?
I'm still relatively new here and I see various acronyms or abbreviations being bandied about , but I haven't the 'foggiest' what they mean . Here are some I've noticed and would be very grateful if anyone could explain them and/or add others that I may have missed .

LTTE
eom
n/t
IMO
Kick

I have a feeling I may be kicking myself if they turn out to be really obvious . Thanks for all your help .:)

LTTE - Letter to the editor
eom - End of message - used to say the subject line is the whole message
n/t - No text - used to say the subject line is the whole message
IMO - In my Opinion
Kick - used to mark the thread so it will stay "on top" instead of pushed down when new posts are made

2. Hi, Delightful
LTTE - letter to the editor

eom - end of message

n/t - no text (both usually used in subject line when there's nothing in the body of the post)

IMO - in my opinion, also IMHO - in my humble opinion

Kick - nothing to add but the poster wants the thread to return to the top of the page.

Another one that's used alot and newbies usually ask about is BFEE - Bush family evil empire.

Welcome. :hi:

4. Thankyou Monica and meegbear .
I've wondered about them for a little while , and was hoping inspiration would hit me so I wouldn't have to ask , but alas I had to admit defeat . I think the only one I would have eventually worked out would have been IMO , as for the others , whoosh , they would have gone right over my head .

Again , let me thankyou very much .:toast:
