Off topic: The Complete Internet Acronyms List
I've decided to compose the complete list of every possible and useful acronym for use over the Net (on the IRC, talk, e-mail, Usenet, etc.) . It should contain every English phrase that was used more than two times
I'm posting it here for verifications, corrections and suggestions before I'll decide what to do with it once it is finallized, (more or less).
So here it is in alphabetical order. Enjoy and comments are well accepted.
