Oops should have been

FWIW

For what it is worth.

Do you know what UFG stands for or is it just a joke?

“Do you know what UFG stands for or is it just a joke?”

The consensus on the intertubes say “Up For Grabs”

One of my pet peeves, and has been for years, is people who put up abbreviations and assume we all know what they mean.

Now pause a moment and let me explain more.

I understand this is the Internet, a mostly verbal medium, a prone to abbreviations. FWIW is a common phrase. LOL is also.

But PKK? Look up thread, a commenter used it and I must suppose he or she assumed we knew what it means.

From now on, when somebody uses an abbreviation that is not commonly used I am going to respond with my own made up abbreviation.

Which is what I did. UFG is my made up abbreviation.

Because why not make up my own abbreviation? I know as much what PKK means as I do UFG.

I don’t want to be nasty or cause a fight. But darn I wish people would stand back and read their often very informative and likeable posts and consider some dummy like myself reading it.

I still do not know what PKK stands for.

So I made up my own abbreviation. I don’t know anymore what PKK means so I will use my own.

So it’s kind of a joke but thanks for your input Syncro.

I know most often-used abbreviations on posts. I am a frequent online writer. But sometimes we go overboard.

My UFG is a reminder of that.
