To not understand how this works?

[Lightbulbs]

Can someone explain to me ( or point me in the right direction....)

What do all the acronyms on Mumsnet mean?

How do you respond/ tag a poster in a comment?

D tends to stand for Dear, so DH = Dear Husband, Dm = Dear Mum etc.

_IL = in law (MIL = Mother In Law etc).

TIA - Thanks In Advance.

Can't think of many others.

To tag people, just put @ in front of their username.

HTH (Hope That Helps)
