“IMHO”

[Geepers]

A lot of posts lately have “IMHO” at the end of every sentence. Do we really need to be saying that all the time? Do we not all realise that what someone says is their opinion? And does it need to have the “H” in there? (“if you think you’re humble then you’re probably not”). Just my opinion

I thought the H was for honest so what the hell do I know.

IMO, it stands for humble not honest. Regardless, I agree with the OP. Those who use IMHO really don't care about the H no matter what it stands for.

It does when I read it.

When I see IMHO in a post, I take it as meaning that the person isn't trying to get into an argument, just sharing their ideas. YMMV.

Pretty sure the "h" stands for Harold.

This is so silly I laughed out loud. In My Harold Opinion.

Wasn't Harold the angel singing "Hark"?

Common misconception. That was actually Steve Perry.

It's like YMMV. It's there to let others know that you respect their different opinions, beliefs and experiences.

I get it, society has become more cynical. Even so, terms like "IMHO" and "with all due respect" should be taken at face value. Usually. Sure, there are vulgar people who follow those terms with statements that are neither humble nor respectful, but I don't believe they represent the majority.

IMHO Zappa.

A sign of politeness is now causing offence.

GOML.

The ‘H’ used to bother me too back when I first started foruming, but now I take it as just a standard form. Like with beginning a business correspondence with ‘Dear’, especially to a fellow male — "Ewww. He’s not dear to me!", I used to think when I was a kid, but now I realize it’s just a pro forma introductory phrase that shows a certain level of polite formality. I mean, just ask Harold; he’ll tell ya
