Hi all.
As a non-native english speaker, I'd like to ask you, if possible, to
avoid the use of acrostics such as the ones above, because it is
sometimes hard to figure out what they mean.
Since this is an international list, I think standard English suits it
better. IMHO. :^)
Best regards,
Pietro

FWIW - For what it's worth.
Meaning: You may or may not assign value to this statement.
YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary
Meaning: This is an automobile industry term, which means your results may be different from my results.

There's a small program on your machine that can be useful in those
cases, it's called wtf.
$ wtf ymmv
YMMV: your mileage may vary
$ wtf wtf
WTF: {what,where,who,why} the fuck
It doesn't explain the meaning but it's still helpful in most cases
(YMMV may be one of the exceptions).
Regards,
Philipp
