What is IMHO? Today, people use not only words, but also symbols to communicate on the Internet. For example, emoticons help a person best express their mood or reaction to an event.
In addition, various abbreviations are increasingly present in text messages, which make it possible to speed up correspondence and save time. One of these abbreviations is - "IMHO".
IMHO - what does it mean on the Internet in slang
IMHO is a well-known expression that means "in my humble opinion" (eng. In My Humble Opinion).
The term "IMHO" began to be used in the early 90s. In Runet, it gained popularity due to its brevity and meaningful meaning.
As a rule, this term is found only during communication in social networks, streams, forums and other Internet sites. Moreover, sometimes the concept can be heard in the course of live communication.
Usually IMHO is used as an introductory word, emphasizing that the person who used it has a subjective opinion. However, in other circumstances, this term can end the dispute or conversation.
An interesting fact is that the concept "IMHO" can show respect for the interlocutor. To do this, it must be used at the beginning of your thesis and written only in lowercase letters.
Over time, there was such a trend as - "IMHOISM". As a result, the original meaning of the term has lost its meaning. People using such a lexeme express their disregard for the opinion of the opponent.
You can do without the use of IMHO when a person does not plan to express his opinion, different from others. However, if you want to communicate your point of view, which does not coincide with someone else's, the term is quite appropriate.
In this case, you will be able to show your opponent that arguing with you will be a waste of time.
Conclusion
The concept "IMHO" is found both in Russian and in English. It is appropriate to use it when a person seeks to express a personal opinion and emphasize that it is useless to argue with him. In another situation, it is better to refrain from using IMHO.
Some Internet sources recommend using the concept only when communicating with loved ones. At the same time, no one forces the user to abandon the use of this acronym, since everything depends on the situation and the interlocutor.
