Stinger-Hunter Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 We all should have learned in 6th grade not to put "in my opinion" on anything we are writing, especially opinion pieces - we know it is your opinion!!! Who else is writing it? I've seen this so much on the Forum lately that I want to address is - these are all mostly opinions so unless your are typing for someone else... We got it , it is your opinion. If you're using IMO to mitigate sounding like a jerk, rewrite the post so you don't sound like a jerk.

MCH Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning??? IMHO, I see nothing wrong with using those acronyms. To me, it lets the other user know that what you're stating is not a given fact its just your opinion. I use it when I'm short of time and don't want to delve into all the "not saying that you should do it, or that this is the way it should be done or I personally don't have anything against or etc." Oh...and I also use it for some good natured ribbing.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 So... IMO means "in my opinion". I'm not in the new texting generation so until now I had no idea what it meant. I guess I see your point since I never knew the meaning and it hasn't caused me to interpret something wrong. Doesn't bother me seeing it though. I just found out what OMG was a month ago and last year found out LOL means laugh out loud and not lots of luck. Had I never joined these forums I'd still be in the dark.

Tominator Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 We all should have learned in 6th grade not to put "in my opinion" on anything we are writing, especially opinion pieces - we know it is your opinion!!! Who else is writing it? We all should have learned a lot of things in the 6th grade that we don't adhere to. IMHO, IMO is used online in reference to what Kevin suggests, and the fact that we aren't all writing persuasive essays here. IMHO, IMO is used as a courtesy so as to not call a person out. That's JMO though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born4it Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 This was kinda good for a laugh... I actually appreciate it when people put that in their posts. It almost just lets everyone know that you have some humility and don't think you're always right...it's refreshing I guess to come on here where most everyone is like that! That's why I like this site :-) Just try to be an optimist.. Take care, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois59 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Dennis Miller ends every one of his rants with "Of course, that's just my opinion, i could be wrong". And he could be wrong. And so could any of us. So if you post "IMO" all you are doing is qualifying the that you could be wrong. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I just found out what OMG was a month ago and last year found out LOL means laugh out loud and not lots of luck. LOL also means "LOTS OF LOVE". Found that out in a mildly embarrassing way. (LOL) laugh out loud... in this case. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
