STFU = Shut the *^_$ up
IMSHO = In my someitmes humble opinion
TTFN = Ta Ta (bye) for now
ROTFLMAO = Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A&* off
POS = Piece of S^)$ (not used too much here!
HTH = Hope that helps
HTH,
Sam

I miss most, if not all, the English, American acronyms used in this forum like LOL, IMHO and so on. Is anybody so kind to care to write them fully extended?
I wish to better understand all your posts.
Thanks

[/quote]The table shows the total proportion of European citizens speaking each language in the EU (as mother tongue or as foreign language
English is the language which is most widely "spoken" in the EU. While it is the mother tongue for 16% of the European population, a further 31% of the EU citizens speak it well enough to hold a conversation.

What does AHAPOS mean?
