What is your least favourite acronym?

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

Isnt LFM looking for member? Like if you have part of a group already together and just need a healer lets say. I'd say its different than LFG which in my mind is a player looking for a group

It does sometimes mean that though it's more common to see it as just trying to assemble a group. If you're looking for more you'll usually use something like LF1M, LF2M etc...

That's not the experience I have. People will be scolded in chat for using LFM when they have no party already.

LFM is more often "looking for more".

If it's looking for one specific member, that's normally specific: LF1M, etc.
