for being new here and getting incredibly pissed of with what ds dd ds and all thoes lazy goobaltigoop lettering mean!!??

[cligan]

yea, please i need a mumsnet glossary or...

im pretty old fashioned for a 19 year old but please speak english and just type out the whole word????

and im not totaly stupid, i can understand that xh means ex husband... wow look how easy that was:P no wonder england is going to pot, kids have toooo many abreviations to ease them out of acctualy spelling!!

(yea tell me im unreasonable?)

there's a list somewhere

yabvu

list here

and much quicker to type 2letters than whole word

Towards the top of your page, click 'Acronyms'

there is a glossary. read it and shut up moaning FFS.

glassary here

(NB it's gobbledygook' )

irony overload on the spelling front. But then I'm in Scotland. We don't have abbreviations here.

Top of the page there is a line
Looks like this

Talk: Topics | Customise | Unanswered messages | Getting started | Acronyms | Useful stuff

Acronyms means letters that stand for something else. Like YABU.
And as a 49 year old teacher, can you give the name of this country a capital letter please?
England. :P

NB: it's glossary Mrs B

Welome cligan. Let me suggest you look near the top of your screen and click acronyms. That'll sort you.

When I first joined, I had a quick skim and it's easy enough. You don't even need to use text smilies :p you can use the emoticons to really express how you feel

by the way, YABU .

YANBU.

It´s a bit twee imo.

"AuntieFlo"!!??

lol - ds = dear son
dd = dear daughter
dh = dear hubby
dp = dear partner
etc , oh & they are all explained at the top of the page under the heading " ACRONYMS"
welcome to m/n

the correct use of an apostrophe would be welcomed too!

Dors anybody here really use AuntieFlo, or even AF? I thought we were all much too blunt for that.

well, you didnt have to waste your time to look and write if you didnt want to hear people moan on a am i being unreasonable thread :P iiijiot :P coz i was getting annoyed with it, if it hurts you so why click on a moany link!! it wont bother you till you bother yourself by involving yourself!!!!

everyone else thank you, your most helpful, ill have a look and not be in the dark in convos anymore lol,

anyone with the same idea as skipoodle over there just read above

oops, didnt realise there were so many people posying, it was meant for the skiingpoodle at the top x

You might want to investigate the use of your shift key, too. Only using lowercase is so 20th Century.

Interesting to me that your old-fashioned values don't extend to using proper pronunciation and spelling. So imho YABU to be so irritated by acronyms designed to save time typing. Especially when it's so easy to find the Acronyms at the top of any page on the talk boards.

cligan not need to be calling people iiijiots!

It's idiots

er and I think you've got it wrong. If you don't want confrontation, don't post in the AIBU topic

posting*

n yea i never meant to say i was perfect either. got teachers on my case for one letter :P i know its important, but there is alot worse to deal with in this great land of kids getting out of school not knowing what 1+1 is. :P

I have a 19 year old, I'll wait until you find your sensible head and bolt it on.

i wasnt looking for any, i just wanted a glossary. got it now thanks and goodnight overreactives >.

Can I ask nicely? Please stop doing the :p

Just had a peek at your profile and you might want to re-consider having your RL name on there.

Goobaltigoop - is that the new special at the curry house?

I think Cligan is actually an oldie who is bored.

Goodnight?
Oh to be 19 again and able to make sweeping generalisations backed by nothing but an armflail and a raised voice.
Are we going to need a door-slamming icon now?
