i’m so old i remember when it was on irc and usenet and shit and was always “humble”I’ve never said “honest opinion” because calling yourself honest is worse than feigning self-effacing right

If I humiliate myself often enough, do I get to call myself humble?

fixation on words used as opposed to addressing the general thrust of a point/comment/whatever is the weakest of sauce and is to the fore of everything that is wrong with ilx/politics/the world

In my experience IMHO is often tweaked to IMNSHO for "in my not-so-humble opinion."
So would partisans on the "honest" side read IMNSHO as "in my not-so-honest opinion"?
I mean, WTF?
