Hi:Oh, I thought it stood for: "in my humble opinion".Humble rather than honest.Doesnt make too much difference either way though. The gist of it is the same. It is the others opinion on a matter.Sunkist

WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get

What a coincidence. I was just wondering that, I just saw it on a CD in my sisters room and I couldn't make out what it was.

Hi,IMHO, acronyms are for the purpose of making one's life easier, allowing one to type less but mean the same thing. However, long acronyms such as "WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get", as stated by OpaQue, might actually have a reverse effect.Also, acronyms have a longer lasting effect, allowing one to remember something more clearly through the use of a shorter word to represent a long phrase. However, such long acronyms might again achieve an adverse effect. Therefore, long acronyms should be avoided.Just my two-cents.

going a bit off-topic, IMHO, but still relevant, i suppose.

there's a suitable historical context on the use of WYSIWYG. did anyone know it has been in use since the late 1970's? and there has been several variations of the WYSIWYG acronym as well. though of limited use, the variations people came up for WYSIWYG is fun to know.
