FWIW - HTH
A couple of others I have encountered.
Not in alphabetical order but more in context order.
AFAIK, probably too many to really be beneficial.
NRN
OO
TLA - three letter acronym
IAW - in accordance with
IMCO - in my considered opinion
IMNSHO - in my not so humble opinion
FTHP - faster than humanly possible (a little faster than ASAP, usually when
marketing wants it)
FYI - for your information
JTLYK - just to let you know
RTSM - read the stupid manual
AFAIK - as far as I know
OTTOMH - off the top of my head
CMIIW - correct me if I'm wrong
IOW - in other words
FWIW - for what it's worth
HTH - hope this helps
AAMOF - as a matter of fact
AKA - also known as
BTDT - been there, done that
DGT - don't go there
YBS - you´ll be sorry
IRL - in "real" life
GMTA - great minds think alike
WFM - works for me
SITD - still in the dark
HHIS- hanging head in shame
ROTFL - rolling on the floor laughing
FOCL - fell off chair laughing
CNP... - continued in next post
NRN - no reply necessary
OO - over and out (carryover from the two-way radio days) (also my initials)
There are also many sites that include the "emoticons" used to display emotions
in connection with a written comment.
e.g. : - ) for a smile
: - 0 for suprise
: - ( for a frown
and many others. Just type "emoticon" into your web searcher and you'll find
plenty of sites.

Subject: Typing Shortcuts
Over time I have come across many typing shortcuts using the English
language, such as:
OTOH - on the other hand
WRT - with regard to
BTW - (I am still trying to figure out this one)
Can someone please list the more common ones? I sometimes strain my
brain
trying to figure them out and they are in my own language. It must
be
terribly confusing to most of our world-wide colleagues.
Thanks,
