What do you mean "IMHO"?

Very often in forums and posts the word "IMHO."It is clear that we are facing one of the "representatives" of the network of Internet jargon.But what does "IMHO"?How can you decipher this strange word?

Wikipedia offers a look at the history of his birth.It is assumed that the beginning of it put the English phrase «In My Humble Opinion», which can be literally translated to our great and mighty Russian as "the humble in my opinion."And if you use an abbreviation of English words that make up this phrase, you get nothing but the four letters that give the sounds in the Russian language denoted by the letters "i", "m", "x" and "o".

So, the word "IMHO" explained quite long sentences.That is, a person who has expressed about anything his own opinion, knows that there are other options judgments.He did not insist that his view is the only correct!However, and also does not wish to remain silent.

This is one side.But the Russian soul always surprised foreigners.Their logic is inexplicable.Speaking of the word "likely", we sometimes do not express doubt or speculation, but just firm conviction.The same thing often happens with the word "IMHO."

Here the user writes on the forum post: "You are wrong, you need to act very differently in this case!" And he adds at the end of performances modest "IMHO."What does it mean?The assumption or qualm?Not at all!

Perhaps this happens just because of ignorance of some Slavs accurate translation of the phrase, gave birth to the jargon.And, seeing it coming, wags have come up with an original way to decrypt your abbreviations, not only in English and in Russian.

What do you mean "IMHO" in the understanding of those who do not hold a sense of humor?At this point of any doubt, and we are not talking, all specifically and clearly."I have an opinion - challenge the horseradish!»

Actually, ironic answer to the question of what it means to "IMHO", there are so many.Basically, the first part of the transcripts is almost identical, and only the second varies.

If you try to list them briefly, you get something like this:

  1. condemn to hell;
  2. hell give up;
  3. want to sound;
  4. though erroneous.

Or even have such interpretation: "Individual opinion by the host response";"The true opinion - horseradish oprovergnesh!" And some of the most firmly convinced of the types, and at all inclined to believe that an acute issue, which means "IMHO", there is only one clear and correct answer: "Available opinion I want to refute!»

However, no matter how did whatever in his wit cynics still a word which indicates rather on subjectivity rather than objectivity statements Internet user."IMHO" is likely to favor an analog input words "I think", "in my judgment," "in my opinion", "in my experience," "in my experience," "I think so", "this is mypersonal opinion "and others.And, just as in writing should be allocated comma expressions listed in relation to the "imho" there are the same rules.

Another thing, when the question is, what letters to write that word in capital or lowercase, Russian or English.Here clear rules have not yet been introduced.Someone writes the whole word abbreviations like conventional hydroelectric, GBDD, university, using all capital letters.All other words are written in lowercase.And some do use English.But all this does not matter.

interesting history of origin, not only words, but also his way to a simple internet user.It is believed that the first time it was used in the sci-fi movie.From there, the acronym was picked up professional programmers networks FIDO, and only then is the word made its move to universal popularity, firmly entered into question all the other layers of the Internet Society.

fighting for the purity of the great and mighty Russian sprinkled ashes on his head, when they have to read the correspondence of the current youth."YapaTstolom", "LOL," "Spock-gnocchi" and other "newly formed" running words.So, "IMHO" in their background looks modestly decline in long phrases, sort of carbon copy of the English abbreviations.
