ACRONYMS on LSD

[katia6666]

as i am new, i would really appreciate it if someone nice enough could tell me what the he** the acronyms mean, it is driving me crazy, why do you all refuse to tell me?
any help would be hugely appreciated! thanks all!

[AH]

as far as i can tell, it is mostly pretty general messageboard lingo.

imo/imho: in my opinion, in my honest opinion
hth: hope that helps
js/jsia: just sharing/just sharing is all (i think)
rl/irl: real life/in real life
t14: top 14 (can also do t2, t3, t4 for each tier)
HYS: Harvard/Yale/Stanford
ttt: third tier toilet

tha's all that comes to mind right now...

[AH]

FWIW: for what its worth, thanks for reminding me down there.

thanks brittany!  there are too many new ones every day to keep up with and i don't think there is any really good reason we can't extend info. to the newbies.  we are not, after all, "the most pprestigious law school forum on the web."
