      an observation, an apology, and a proposition.

      have you ever noticed how much I use the word "really"? seriously. I overuse it. sometimes I look over my posts before I sumit and delete some of the reallies, other times I just leave them. even though there might be like 3 in the same sentence.

      I forgot what I was going to apologize for.

      my proposition: from what I've gathered, "OP" stands for "Original Post"
      maybe also used as "Original Poster". I hope so because that is how I've been using it. anyway, I think it would make more sense if we changed it to "IP" for "Initial Post". I know "original" and "initial" have close to the same meaning, but I think "initial" definitely fits better. I also know that IP also stands for "Internet Protocol", but I think people of reasonable intelligence will be able to figure it out from the context.

      all in favor, say "I"

      yeah, well I have courage. I believe in myself. you know Andrew Jackson said "One man with courage makes a majority." and he was a fucking badass. he was the only president in history to completely eliminate the national debt.

      so...yeah.

      If the change in terms creates no actual benefit or advantage over a previously used term, what exactly is the point of changing it?

      When astronomers discovered that there were a great number of other balls of ice comparable in size to Pluto all over the place (in the same region as aforesaid planet) it created a bit of an issue. To claim that your reason for changing a common internet abbreviation is the same... Well, think about it.

      You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

      I discovered that there are other words in the same region with meanings that are more suitible to the abbreviation and suggested changing the word...sure people on the internet are used to "OP", but people were used to the name "Pluto" a lot longer I think...

      sorry I still think it's essentially the same thing ._.

      well thankyou Kiza. and thankyou mrdeano (there is an "I" in your post.)
