Acronyms

First Post
Hey there I know I probably shouldn't be writting this here cause it has nothing to do with the rules, but is there anywhere I can find a list of the acronyms everybody keeps using?? I mean I get the gist of most of them but some just keep me guessing for a long time.. Thanks.

Yes, I do know what you mean. There is some question in my mind whether the above counts as an acronym, though. An acronym is "a word formed from the initial letters of a name (such as NASA) or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words (radar = 'RA'dio 'D'etecting 'A'nd 'R'anging)."

Is it your position that IYKWIMAITYD is a word? I guess it *is* pronounceable (barely). I make it out as "Ick! We mated!"
