Abbreviations - AKA confused.com

[macblank]

I'm totally lost on here when people use so many different abbreviations.

I only found out about aibu recently, but the rest confuse me... Let's have a list of them and pin them, cos I'm sure I can't be the only one.

Good idea, what shall we call it?

There is one, somewhere - I'll try and find a link. It's pretty comprehensive.

There is a list, here: www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms

Lmgtfy (let me Google that for you)

www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms

Mac there is a long standing and very comprehensive list:

www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms

Back in the day there was a link on every page for the list of acronyms. But 2 or 3 years ago MNHQ, in their wisdom , decided to put the link in a harder to find place. I'm not surprised folk struggle to find it.

Wonder how you are supposed to find that page when the page it links from, the /info part of the link doesn't seem to even exist?

www.mumsnet.com/info

I had tried googling it, but to no avail.

AF in my understanding was As Fuck.

I'd like to suggest a new acronym...

MH ... Mental Health.
NSS ... No Shit Sherlock
JK ... Joke/joking

Pretty sure I won't remember them, well maybe... I have a strange memory! I don't always recall something unless prompted. So if I were to be given a list and told to list them, I won't, but in context I may¡¡¡ lol

While I'm at suggestions.

What about a vote up/down button in the ... Menu?

mac, presumably you have now seen the acroymns link, as provided by three previous MNers?!!!!!

Oh, and the acronyms list has need to be updated for years - MNHQ occasionally make vague noises about it but don't do anything!!!

"What about a vote up/down button in the ... Menu?"

Nope

@gnothiseafton

What dont you like about the vote up/down button.

Also the list should be in the menu list/... Option?

Because we all like to actually talk to each other, here on MN. The up/down vote button idea has been debated on a number of occasions over many many many years. Most MNers say a resounding 'no' and even MNHQ is very anti the idea.

There is a good topic called Site Stuff www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff. It's a helpful topic if you experience technical problems with the site and it's also a good place to post if you have any ideas about what changes you might like to see.

AF also stands for Aunt Flo aka menstrual period

What dont you like about the vote up/down button

Almost everything.

The subject of a “like” button has been hotly debated multiple times over many years and it has never got any traction with the majority of MNers.
