help with abbreviations...

[rewolf]

Help me so I don't look like a dinosaur... A bride just emailed me in reference to a photo I sent -
"...BTW that bouquet is really pretty..."

What do the initials mean? Is it slang for something good or bad? Thanks for the input. I'm really not that old, just totally out of touch...:dunce

BTW=by the way

joan

 

[ladyinc]

Btw

"By The Way"

 

[Tammy]

cool...I'm really old and I knew that! Don't I just feel on top of things

 

[rewolf]

Thanks everyone. So obvious. My husband kept saying it meant "between" but it just didn't make sense. Now I can respond to my bride...
Okay, now I do feel old...:redface2:

 

[Twila]

Not to worry. I'm always asking my brother "what does ________ mean?"
I'm not up on all the texting shortcuts either...but I'm learning.:loopy

I hate shortforms in language... by the way, I don't text, but my daugher does... she does not short form.

You are not old, you're literate. Another year or 2 you can just ask your kids...I do. I need a English to text translator!

Although, when I figure one out, I feel like I solved a little puzzle...I have to revel in the little victories!

You know, we could do with a page of abbreviations and their meanings, I sometimes haven't got a clue and a sticky or under FAQ's (I do know what that one is) could be helpful.

I thought that may have been a "typo".

There's some I deserve them for, but....:dunno:


It's OK - I can live with it. Thanks for explaining
