What is with all the DW, DH, etc I keep seeing? I feel like I'm learning a second language without any books! I'm guessing it means Dear Hubby, Dear Wife, etc....But I'm not sure. Anyone care to enlighten me with your wisdom?:withstupid:
You are correct. I have to google what I see half the time myself. It took me forever to figure out what **** was, and on occasion, depending on the general forum mood, you may see it here a lot. I just googled and found this http://www.gaarde.org/acronyms/ I haven't a clue how many there are.
Ya gotta be careful trying to get around the censor, it'll get ya banned. Or put in time out. 8) :lol:
I guess a lot of that comes from texting and IMing. I rarely use many of them. Sometimes I'll throw in the old FWIW or IMHO but don't use the others. I've never really gotten into texting or IMing. I'm pretty fast in typing because its a big part of my job, so I can get out my message quicker my just typing out what I've got to express. Do you reckon that eventually texting skills will be taught in school just as typing has been for many years? Of course, most kids are still wet behind the ears and have already mastered texting, making courses unnecessary, I suppose. I'll bet in the future, typing on a traditional keyboard will go the way of the dinosaur about like a typewriter. You see, now I'm old enough to say that I learned to type on an electric typewriter. Backspace wasn't an option without those white-out strips.
You'll also see it around here a lot of people are talking about a certain sporting goods store at White Oak. :lol:
Ha!! I learned to type in a class in HS that used the old manuals with NO letters on the keys. There was a pull down screen that had the symbols on it in the front of the class, and when we had tests, they would put it up so you couldn't see it. As a result, I can type pretty much blindfolded, LOL. DH types about 100 WPM, blows my mind.
In my typing class in highschool we had 2 different styles, first was IBM selectrics and the others were old manuals. We would spend half of every 9 weeks on the old manuals and the other half on the IBMs Of course the IBMs had the letters on the keys and used correction tape, but the manuals didn't have the keys marked and you had to use the old eraser and brush to make changes.
