to have all these daft internet 'code' drive me mad!

[Lucy88]

AIBU, YANU, YANKU, DH, DS1

What is that all about?????????

Can we not just use plain English?

YABU, IMHO

How long have you been on MN?

YABVU
IMO

Oh get over it, tis abbreviation, not code

yabu
it makers things quicker to type

pmsl @ TR

IIRC and IMVHO yes YABU. MIL, DH and DD13 also think so.

You Are Being Unreasonable - it takes so much longer to type that than YABU - especially if you are mumsnetting from a mobile phone!

If you don't know what DS1 means, then see the Acronyms list.

Just thank your lucky stars that people don't usually write on Mumsnet using TXT SPEAK.

One might even say, yabu sucks (Geddit??)

and quicker to read

it's only UR if you use such masionistic ( is that a word??) codes in waitrose

Can i just clarify, once and for all
lol = laugh out loud OR lots of love ?

Mind you there can still be some confusions.

Eg. DisasterArea... do you really have 13 girls? DD13 means to me Darling Daughter number 13!

YABVU.

And lol is laughing out loud.

I was also at dd13, what a busy lady you've been

Thanks thunderduck. I have been very rudely laughing out loud at people who I meant to give my love to

What's YANU and YANKU?

But YAOBU.
And YAFT.
