ok! i went through the posting rules in Announcements. I am ok with them, except for the restriction on IM lingo. I need to unlearn and relearn a lot. moreover I am the lazy type. I'll try to restrict the language accordingly but please excuse any unintentional slips!
are acronyms like "BTW" (By the way) or "IMO" (In my opinion) or "FYI" (for your information) allowed? and am i allowed to quote decent hindi/hyderabadi slangs and phrases like "yaaron" or "bhai" or "nakko bawa"? heh heh...just getting the rules right, because I am used to those phrases!
