I saw Dan's comment about the use of acronyms and can commiserate with
him... I had no idea what they were when I first started communicating
online, but the medium sure spawns their use, as they're fequently used as
shorthand modifiers to get the point across or identify one's position.
Like emoticons, those little sideways smiley faces 8-), they seem to sneak
in everywhere.  ICYWW (In Case You Were Wondering)...

AAMOF       As a matter of fact
CYA         Cover your a__
FWIW        For what it's worth
IMHO        In my humble opinion
OTOH        On the other hand
WAG         Wild a__ Guess
WYSIWYG     What You See Is What You Get
YGIAGAM     Your Guess Is As Good As Mine
YMMV        Your Mileage May Vary

Oh yeah, if you read something and it's intent was lighthearted or
tongue-in-cheek, you might see a <g>, which is a <grin>, or a <G> which is
a <big grin>.  I've got a huge list of these things, but these are probably
the ones that will sneak in most frequently.
