When I first came to EvC, it took a while for me to learn the acronyms or shorthand used by members. I still run into a few now and then.
​
I'd like to compile a list of the shorthand terms we use.
​
What I have used:
​
ABE - Added By Edit
BTW - By The Way
EOT - End Of Thread
EvC - Evolution vs Creation
IMHO - In My Humble Opinion
IMO - In My Opinion
IOW - In Other Words
​
I know there are more out there, enlighten me.

but to forshorten whole phrases like "as far as I am concerned"
Do you think that came about more after the text messaging or more by people who don't really type?
