It is filled with all sorts of helpful "commonly used acronyms" you can use to "save time" whilst chatting with family and friends. Things like, "LOL," "BTW" and "IMHO." However, it is also filled with all sorts of wild acronyms that I've never seen before. Now, I don't consider myself an expert on IM acronyms, and it's possible that new ones have been developed recently, and that I'm an old fogey by IM standards, but: Have any of you ever seen "PMFJI," "SSINF" or "OTTOMH?"And then they go and get a few classics totally wrong. For example, "WTH." The family-friendly Verizon acronym page writing people just couldn't bring themselves to put "WTF" in their little guidebook. "WTH," they claim, stands for "What the heck?"
WTH? WTF?!? You've gotta be kidding me! Even Google knows better than to let you search for WTH:
Pardon me for jumping in, but Eli, I would like to point out that even really, really old fogies like Dave Barry know what PMFJI means. He describes it in Dave Barry in Cyberspace, along with IMHO and LOL and ROTFL. That book come out over ten years ago. Now admittedly I have never seen anyone say PMFJI since, but still you should be ashamed of yourself.
