STOP IT.... STOP IT!!!

I hate it - it's driving me nuts!

The YMMV ending of so many posts - it's nasty - should be executed on the spot.... of course.. YMMV.

I dunno, I don't mind, and sometimes I kinda like it. But that's just me, YMMV..

Perhaps at this point it should be considered a given, and one should only end with a disclaimer when your mileage won't vary...maybe "YMWNV" ("YMWV" for "your mileage won't vary" would not work since that could also mean "your mileage will vary", so we'd have to have "will not" spelled out)...

I think I'm gonna go with YVMHM - your variation may have mileage.....

What do they say in Europe (and, I suppose, just about everywhere but the US)..."your kilometerage may vary"?

For the longest time I was pushing for YBMM "Your Booku May Marry"

But it never really caught on for some reason.

I suppose, in addition to "just about everywhere" else, I should have said "most of" Europe...

YMMV basically means that although this works for me or this is how I see and understand things, it may be different for you. Your Mileage May Vary (Depending what automobile you drive your mileage could definitely vary!)

Wow. I always thought it meant "You Make Me Vomit". All these times, it was intended to soften the blow of an opinion, and I took it as confrontational. Perhaps it was an assumption due to how often Fletcher uses it. I could very easily see him ending every post with, "but, as always, you make me vomit.".

Searching post history....deleting....posts......

Yeah if someone's mileage varies you seem to not like it very much
if it varies from your mileage that is. But since we are on the topic of
mileage....... Let's talk cars huh? why don't we?


Baby you can drive my car!! Yes I'm gonna be a star!!!
Baby you can drive my car!! and Maybe I'll love you

Beep beep'm beep beep YEAH!!!

Now that is corny. What symbolism!!
But as always YMMV.............
