The most ironic truth about using "IMHO" is that anyone who uses it is definitely not being humble......IMHO. ;-)

OK then, if we're gonna start down THAT road...

has anyone ever heard of an "ID 10 T" error?

if you don't get it, write it on a piece of paper.

Or, favorites among my fellow Help desk staffers...

"It's an IBM error" (Idiot Behind the Machine)
"That's an FDU problem" (F***ing Dumb User)

When we had to include a special file in our software a while ago, and needed to give it a 'technical' sounding name, we named it 'MS-FDU.ocx', in honor of all our wonderful clients!

when working with TLAs and ETLAs never forget about ATLAs or Abbreviated Three Letter Acronyms (ex. PS)

And then there's the little-known error...

The Manuelle error.

Symbols wouldn't be copyrighted... they would be trademarked. So there cannot be a © on ©, but there might be a â„¢ on â„¢.
