Being a non-native english speaker and not even living in an english speaking community, i have come across some abbreviations on this board that i can't figure out...

Anyone care to explain:

YHM: You Have Mail (that was easy)
TA: thanks (i think??)
ttt: ??
bttt ?

any other i should know about?

Thanks
Simon

vive la Belge! (my wife is Belgian)

ttt = To The Top, gets the post back at the top of the page
bttt = back to the top, as above
BTW = by the way
ROTFLMAO = rolling on the floor laughing my **** off
TTFN = ta ta for now
RTFM = read the &%cking manual
IMO = in my opinion
IMHO = in my humble opinion

One I never got is LOL, I guess it's lord o lord or look o look but not sure.

Anyway I think that should cover some of the common ones

Did you know that the Romans used to "drive" on the left.....and in mainland Europe, Napoleon messed it all up for you guys and changed it ('cos he was left handed).....
