I'm going to get downvoted for this, but you don't have to state "IMHO" or any variation of that in your posts. You are the one posting it; we know it's your opinion. It just adds grammatical clutter and noise to an otherwise well thought-out post.
IMHO
- Doctor_Fegg 8y agoIn many cultures, voicing equivocation, doubt, or similar provisos is a social norm when expressing your opinion. It certainly is in British English, for example. Don’t assume everyone on HN has US social norms.
- srtjstjsj 8y ago"IMHO" is an American Internet English term, and using it is a US social norm.
