Who is Julius Ceasar? Exploring the Science of Spelling and Introductions

[Julius Ceasar]

I am Julius Ceasar the mischevious not Julius Caesar the Roman general, i wanted to have a little fun and see how often people would care about the spelling and if anybody ever reads these introductions. I hope to meet some people with interesting ideas and share some of my own and maybe have a laugh or two along the way. If you do read this the say hi, you can call me Jules.

Welcome to PF. That is a very good question. There is no such thread.

I just tried "define OP" in my search engine, and it gave me the answer very quickly. I also searched for AFAIK, and it also gave me the answer in seconds. The acronym PF is less common, but you will see it here meaning Physics Forums.

hi anorlunda, I tried searching here and google but nothing, what i was referring to was that in this forum the OP is the question that starts the post. 'As far as i know' was easy, but i can't guess OP, other people, outta pocket, on point, overall position, over populated, our point, its driving me crazy.

Welcome to the PF.

but i can't guess OP

"OP" is overloaded in forum-speak (not just at the PF), much like you can overload functions, methods and operators in programming.

OP = Original Poster (the user who started the thread)

OP = Original Post (the first post to start the thread).

Are there other forum acronyms that you'd like help with?
