ETA (Extra Text Appended): By topic, this should maybe go in MPSIMS (My Post Seems Immaterial Maybe Sorta), but given the direct relevance, I put it here. Feel free to post your honest or humble opinions about the topic.
Oh, great. I’ve made lots of posts where I used the alternate IMNSHO (In My Not-So-Humble Opinion). Now people will think I’m being deliberately deceptive. :smack:
I find it hilarious that this abbreviation appears frequently on Russian internet sites transliterated into Russian letters: ИМХО. But the letters don’t stand for any Russian words, it’s just a wholesale borrowing of the English abbreviation. Of course, the Х still stands for humble. Or rather хамбл.
It’s better than referring to the 20th century Russian empire in English as the “CCCP”. That’s what the letters in the Russian abbreviation look like, but they’re completely different letters than the English “cee” and “pee”. And don’t even get me started on people replacing E with Σ to make something look “Greek”: “My Big Fat GrΣΣk Wedding” would be pronounced “Grssk”.
