So can we get a list of deplorable forum lingo that should be banned?

Anyone willing to pull the trigger on that one? Conan users, Noink users, Pantex, Snoy...doesn't matter. It will be very useful IMHO.

how about IMO or IMHO.
If YOU are posting it then I sure as hell know its not MY opinion you are writing.
Just spit it out already!

That's pretty funny! I tried to avoid this one, and did so for many many years,
I finally caved ands started using it just this last two years or so.

Awesome apparently in some cases it must now mean mediocre (especially in the case of female self portraits in the G&N forum)

Yah man, that is funny just because I know it's true.

the worst for me is the word " Minty " to describe something that is MINT .... when i see that .. it drives me up a wall .. why spend the extra fraction of your life to type out an extra letter ? or maybe next time i may just use spearMINT ... MINT will do ppl !

Mint means mint. Minty means marginally sub-mint. I think the distinction is important.

Personally, IMHO, there are no terms that annoy me generically. It is more when certain specific people use them :D

This one has been irritating me too. I don't know why, but this one ranks right up there with the previously mentioned "pulled the trigger".  :p
