I keep seeing the abreviation IMO, and I have not the slightest blessed clue as to what it means. I'd be very grateful if someone would fill me in. Thanks!

In My Opinion.

There are a lot more there than are commonly used, so don't go nuts, but it'll help you decode the Newspeak.

I've more commonly seen IMHO, the H stands for humble.
Posted by dpatridge (Member # 2208) on :
I always thought the H stood for honest...

Thanks everyone for helping me out. Posted by Spaceman (Member # 9240) on :
It may have been changed to honest, but back on the old RELAY chat in the late 80's it stood for humble. The smily face with colon close paren came from relay chat also.
Posted by autumnmuse (Member # 2136) on :
I thought it still did stand for humble. At least that's how I use it.

IMHO = in my HUMBLE opinion
honesty got nothing to do with it.
Posted by Spaceman (Member # 9240) on :
It means humble to me too. I don't know how it's used today because I haven't been in a chatroom for probably more than a decade.
Posted by dpatridge (Member # 2208) on :
I'm probably just reading the wrong interpretation into it, seeing that I picked up most of my chat acronyms from just feeling my way.
Posted by wbriggs (Member # 2267) on :
BTW, my opinions are rarely humble -- FWIW.
Posted by dpatridge (Member # 2208) on :
But they're always honest, nay? So my interpretation is the better one
