Russ The Red Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Don't feel out of sorts. I have been holding off on what BTT means, or when people say Bump. I love people who use IMHO - in my humble opinion. Which doesn't really mean they consider their opinion to be humble, more passive/aggressive writing.

Barry Sloe Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 To be proper, you should spell it out first followed by parentheses with the acronym. Such as: Fuel Oil (FO). In this manner everyone knows what you're talking about throughout your discussion. Just 2 cents worth, BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 My sisters used to email and text me all those lovely abbreviations and acronyms. So, once when I was visiting back home I started using them during our conversation. They got the point very quickly after I spouted a few sentences use the abbreviations instead of saying the words. EXAMPLE: “Bee Tee Double You...This could make for a very annoying character in a comedy skit, don’t you think Ell Oh Ell. It would have people Are Oh Eff Ell Em Aye Oh, dontcha think?” Grrrrrr....
