Non trivial, I think. Maybe an emacs keyboard macro could do it if you thought some before you constructed it? :-) > I would also like to know the -exact- meaning of "ie." > Something like "exemple"? It's latin. "ie" == "id est" == "that is" "eg" == "exempli gratia" == "for example" While I'm at it, here's some abbrevations I've seen a lot here and some of which I couldn't figure out myself: YMMV == Your milage may vary MFC == Merge from current YAMFC == Yet another MFC HAND == Have a nice day HTH == Happy to help PITA == Pain in the ass POLA == Principle of least astonishment IIRC == If I recall correctly FYI == For your information IM(NS)(H)O == In my (not so) (humble) opinion UTSL == Use the source, Luke RSN == Real soon now ITYM == I think you mean PR == Problem report (sent with send-pr to the PR database) That's all I can think of straight away... I really think someone should put up a list of such often used abbreviations on a webpage close to the mailing list archives. :-) /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
