City of Variable. X is equal to Heroes and/or Villains.

Or, plural phalluses.

Not too hard to type out CoH/V...but the net is all about abbreviation.

"OMGWTFBBQ" FTW!

LOL!

Two keystrokes saved let you have the time to moved your arm an inch or so. Vital.

<Rant - and not necessarily directed at you, Kin, but at 'Internet Shorthand' in general>

You know, that's the same argument folks use when they try to defend typing "ne" instead of "any". The thing is, if it takes the viewer an extra 5 seconds to understand what is typed, then who cares about a 1 second savings in typing when the overall time of communication takes a 4 second hit. Not really a savings at all when you look at the big picture

</Rant>

lol, Kin's the last person you'll need to poke at for using that, pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

The acronyms like LOL, I can understand, and I have no problem using. However, people need to take a damn typing class and learn how to type properly, especially kids who have access to it in school.

City of Xanatos?

That'd be one empty city. I haven't seen the man in many months!
