I am sure there is no standard for these, but there are some common ones used so much that I need help. I was going to put this in deer hunting because it seems to get the most hits, but I will try here first in the spirit of keeping to subject.

What are:
lol?
imho - in my honest opinion
imo - in my opinion
btw - by the way
lkao?

Shoot, I can't remember them all. I'd have to go back up in the forums to read them all. Can anyone generate a list?

TYVM Turkey hunter, WTG! I just now opened this on 3/23. I greatly appreciate your complete list. AFAIK this hasn't been posted, and ought to be put up in Deer Hunting because the audience is so large, but the mods would probably think I was a PITA. I'll leave it up to them and make it SEP.

TYVM Again and CUL8R.
