Common Internet Abbreviations

[kimmyo]

Just bumping this up for all the newbies to see!

[PrairieRose]

Kimmyo, sometimes I see on a board that I go to (a pet board) that a persons name will be on the list of the post and it will be followed by nt or (nt) . Do you know what that means? It would look like

I have a question.......................PrairieRose (nt)

It's got me stumped!
Thought maybe in all of your internet wisdom you may know what it means.......? If so please share.

[kimmyo]

PrairieRose....I'm sorry I don't know what that one means.

I reccomend you ask the web master on that board. I searched all the websites that I know on abbreviations and it was not listeded on any of them. I will keep trying. If you find out what it is please let me know!

[PrairieRose]

Thanks for trying, don't drive yourself nuts over it. I just thought that maybe it was one that everyone knew (but me!) and I was too simple to figure out! It's sweet of you to go to soooo much trouble....but don't, really.

Usually when someone wants to just post a one-sentence answer, but nothing inside the actual message, they will use (NT) at the end of their subject line to show that there is "no text" inside the message.

Prairie Rose, if you saw the (nt) after a question, then the person probably forgot to remove the letters.

Here is an idea.

I think it means NOT TRUE, as meaning it isn't their real name???:p
