I have been on the Forums for a long time, and I have seen a lot of acrostics, and abbreviations. But I just can't figure out what IIRC stands for . Can someone tell me please?

LOL Kyle! I think only net gamers would understand 1337. (does anyone who doesn't play online games understand it?)Originally posted by kyleb
that kid is obviously 1337.
Ha! Kids nowadays, no sense of history. I was having to read that goddamn h4x0r l33t-5p33|< long before there was a net, and VGA Planets was the coolest thing on the block. Why, when I was your age...does anyone who doesn't play online games understand it?

I've got another REALLY stupid question: How does one "label" a link (instead of it's just appearing in "http://..." format)?
IIRC stands for "If I Recall Correctly". It is an internet slang term used to indicate that the speaker is not entirely sure of the information they are about to provide and may need to double-check.
IIRC is commonly used in online conversations, forums, and social media to indicate uncertainty or to preface a statement that may not be completely accurate. It is also used in spoken language, especially among younger generations.
IIRC is considered an informal term and is not typically used in formal or professional settings. It is more commonly used in casual conversations or online interactions.
Yes, there are several similar terms to IIRC such as "if my memory serves me correctly" or "if I remember correctly". These phrases convey a similar meaning of uncertainty or a need for verification.
IIRC is most commonly used in casual conversations and online interactions. However, it can also be used in more serious contexts, such as when discussing a past event or fact that the speaker is not entirely sure about. It is important to gauge the appropriateness of using IIRC in different contexts.
