Hi sammi,

if you make that list of abbreviations and post it here, then I'm sure I and others will attempt to add meanings and explanations to them for you.

Have fun!

LOL = laugh out loud
DoF = Depth of field
HDR = High Dynamic Range
AF = Autofocus
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

That sort of thing?

BoGoF = Bye one get one free.

Sorry could not resist...great idea

 

[wilmorh]

i'm sure i've seen 'pmsl' ?

 

[skullfish]

The only abbreviation you ever need:

JFGI.

Just _blank_ Google It.

You fill in the blanks? Save you the humililiation of asking about that one.

TGIF – Thank God It's Friday (yeah, I'm old...)

And don't forget the granddaddy of them all: OK!
Although there still is a lot of controversy on it's origins and real original meaning.
