    There are some short form of letters,which are seen only on forums(Sorry,if this is not correct),
    and which are very hard to understand by newbies or specially to those people,who are not perfect in english.

    1)WTB:Want to buy,
    2)WTS:Want to sell or Want to service(I couldn't understand yet),
    3)WTT:Want to trade,
    4)ASAP or asap:As soon as possible,
    5)BIN or bin:Buy it now(especially used in Domains sections),
    6)LOL or lol:Laugh out loud(but so many people are using this word here and there,I know they also don't know its mean and using it meaningless and unnecessarily,even if a joke is for only smiling then also they are typing lololol....)

    I could understand these words,but what are these FYI,P.S,RIP etc...

    Please list them if you know,this would be a grateful help for everyone...
