I hope not I am the only member who has problems understanding some abbreviations.

Post here what I have missed:

ASAP - As soon as possible
IMHO - In my honest opinion
WTF - Washington's TIE Fighter :D otherwise this : :wtf:
IIRC - If I remember correctly
My community contributions - Get my campaigns from here.

I already announced my retirement twice, yet here I am. If I bring up that topic again, don't believe a word.

I've always thought the H stood for humble not honest. When not abreviated it's mostly the former that is used.

BRB - Be Right Back
ASL - Age, Sex, Location (commonly used in chatrooms).
AFAIR - AFAIK less used brother. The R stands for remember/recall

no, it's RED the f-ing manual if this was a red faction forum.

aside from that: yes I know, but it's more accurate to these forums if it's read the FRED manual instead...
