Ah, shucks. :-) Some more I thought of while biking 10 virtual miles yesterday afternoon: CDE -- Corrections Duly Expected [a more negative version of IIRC] TUV -- Totals Usually Vary [adaption of "Totals may not equal 100% due to rounding", and roughly synonmous with YMMV, Your Mileage May Vary] JKM -- Joking, Kinda, Maybe, meaning "it was sort of funny when I wrote it, but you might not find it as funny"; or Just Killing Mimes [obscure Bloom County reference], which was sort of funny when I wrote it, but you might not find it as funny It's totally possible to have multiple explanations for an abbreviation, as long as they have a synonymous meaning. It only dawns me now as I am about to hit send that the alphabet doesn't have JKM. :-) Best regards, Jeffrey Henning http://www.LangMaker.com/ - Invent Your Own Language subscribe-dublexgame@onelist.com - Win $100 in the DublexGame contest!
