Online (non-Sanderson) abbreviations

[cuimhne she/her]

<p>As I've been reading 17S posts, I often find combinations of letters that I don't quite understand. I haven't found a place on this site to help me understand it, so I'm starting one. This thread is for abbreviations not related to Brandon stuff. I'll start another thread in the General Brandon Discussion area for abbreviations related to the books. To keep this thread easy to navigate, please try not to re-post abbreviations that have already been defined.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>IIRC: If I recall correctly</p>

<p>IMO: In my opinion</p>

<p>POV: Point of View</p>

Any specific reason the paragraphs are bracketed by HTML? It isn't necessary, although many things (color, font size, etc.) can be accomplished by using what seems like a variation on HTML that uses brackets. Edited April 9, 2016 by Stormgate

Sometimes the BBcode-HTML translator breaks, though usually it happens in places like PM or user pages. Or at least it happens on older versions of the forum software...
