| I am out of touch but I am the creator of the RR FAQ and would like to update it to include all abreviations that may be used on the Round Robin Forum. One of the newest that I have seen is the MFN (make new friends), I must say that this one had me confused and a bit worried that it was BAD language, so very glad to have it explained to me.
I would love to hear from all of you on abreviations, not just the ones normally used here but everyday ones that might be used other places on the Gardenweb site. Do not think that anything should be left out as I am one of the older models and anything beyond LOL (laughing out loud) or LMK (let me know) may be out of my experience. Thanks ever so much, Les |

| Les, Had a good giggle over the MFN worries. It is "MNF" for Make New Friends not MFN. I could see how MFN would cause some concern. lol! Thanks for your help in the FAQ Pages! Tracy |

| It took me a bit to figure out "MNF" too... and still trying to figure out "OBF" -- what's that one? Here are some more. Some of these I've seen around GW; others I know from chat rooms and other message boards. There are tons out there, but it's probably easier to figure most out in context, rather than list them all--even just all of these! UWYL&TTR - Use what you like, and toss the rest. (If a person really wants to, they could do a search for "internet shorthand" and come up with all kinds of lists!) SASBE - self-addressed stamped bubble envelope - but what this really means is to send return postage and your address label (and anything else requested) in a bubble envelope, with the flap of the envelope TAPED (not sealed) shut, so that the same bubble envelope can be reused to send the seeds back to you. (Hope that makes sense!) BE - bubble envelope That might be TMI, but I HTH! ;-) |

| pixiesluvplants - Thank you! I thought that, too, about SASBEs, but Sue/chemocurl explained it to me (probably better than I explained it above, but I can't find her explanation atm). :-) fcoffill - oh, you're right, definitely can't forget the cute 'lil emoticons! If someone doesn't know what the smiley is, they might be wondering why people keep typing strange symbols (lol)! --Amy |
