I voted YANBU then responded properly because I'm not 12. I am new here and have started using some of the acronyms but admit on some posts I have no idea what they mean. When were they all agreed on? Does googling them work? IHNIHTW. You see what I did there? I used one I just made up that people probably wouldn't know. It saves people time but when it's massive post anyway what's the point? Each to their own ....

Most of them are here: www.mumsnet.com/i/acronyms

I also hate "ofc" which doesn't make any sense. Surely it should be "oc", if anything.

Same structure as etc though so I think ofc is fine.

Hilarious that OP's posts are by far the worst written on the thread.

It’s not ect. That’s really annoying.

Punctuate properly, please.

If we were splitting hairs, not that we are, or judging, (heaven forbid) . That sentence should read use punctuation correctly not properly.

Proper means in the correct manner as the circumstances dictate. Correctly means right as in not wrong.

Although I disagree with the poster, this is one of my bugbears.

But do you spell etc correctly?

Perhaps she considers etc a cliched abbreviation?

I agree, and I refuse to use clichéd abbreviations.

"Go f yourself" - why the abbreviation instead of speaking properly?

AhBiscuits · 22/12/2024 07:21

This has been a fun chat.
Not sure why you are here? Whining about problems is literally the point of this forum.
