[FRIDAY] [OT] Best misunderstanding of an acronym?
Yesterday, I sent an email to a co-worker on a topic, and added at the
bottom YMMV without bothering to explain the acronym.
This morning (about ten minutes ago), she showed up and asked:
"What does YMMV mean? You Make Me Vomit? "
Anyone else have any choice examples of misunderstood acronyms?

it - arrgh!
