I think I'm getting old so can someone help me out with an explanation ?

I've seen a few posts in forums where someone will say something and then another poster will reply/comment with :

"This!"

What the hell is that supposed to mean ?!?!

Shorthand for "I agree with what the person I am quoting says, and I support their viewpoint"




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

+1!




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I was going to write my opinion out but since this person encapsulated my veiw so succinctly I see no need to write a post that essentially repeats what they said so I will just show my support by writing "this"

Or how to correctly capitalise the beginning and punctuate the end of their sentences. And don't get me started on apostrophe usage.

I was taught never to start a sentence with a conjunction. If we were going to be picky that is.
