As a new reader to The Archers message boards I realise that it has its own sub-language, where abbreviations are used.
To date I've worked out the following:
ITRW - in the real world
IMO - in my opinion
IMHO - in my humble opinion (is this stronger than the above?)
SL - storyline
SW - scriptwriters
JD - Jenny 'Darling'
LL - Lower Loxely
TA - The Archers
However I cannot fathom 'btw'. An answers? Or more abbreviations that I should know about?
Have a look first at the message Board FAQ, Sweetzelda. It lists a lot of abbreviations - but not all!
HTH (Hope that helps).
Thank you for your directions.
It's another world!!!

Attn: Mr. Keri,
In the FAQ there's a link to find more abbreviations:
It goes to a "This domain may be for sale by its owner" page.

Thanks, Peet. It now points at a live page.

BTW = By The Way
IIRC + If I Remember (or Recall) Correctly
Is this thread any good.
I found it useful to read.

Thanks, Staddlestone. I'm just waiting for comments from a couple of people, and then I'll publish the updated (and hopefully comprehensive) list.
