Now you know what everyone else feels like when you start a regex thread. :p

At least my regexes dont do different things depending on what I'm thinking at the time :p

I jsut saw a thread title that said, "I am loving my BB", At first I thought, why would you love a little metal ball that you shoot at things? Then I thought: wait, maybe he loves Best Buy for some reason. So I clicked on the thread and what does he love? His broadband internet connection. We can't have three meanings for the same acronym! I also remember a thread with a title like "Having trouble with OD" and I thought the poster was overdosing on some drug, but no, he was having trouble with an Office Depot rebate. Could you please just type out a couple extra words instead of inventing new acronyms so that the rest of us can tell what the hell you're talking about?

AMEN!!!

Also cut it out with the YACT, YAGT, YAGT could stand for yet another gay thread, yet another gigantic thread, yet another girl thread, yet another guy thread, just spell or make up a creative title.

according to the dictionary, and acronym is a word that is made up from the initial letters of something. such as AIDS or SADD. not such as FBI or YAGT. :D

So... who wants to start the AT acronym dictionary?

Seriously.. AT has some pretty offhand acronyms. Plus, I think it's cool that we have more than one meaning for the same acronyms.

maybe Zunni should make it if you say YACT it will display yet another car thread. Of course there should be an option to turn it off.
