Believe in what you see

This era, where Blogging has become a revolution (well almost), it always helps to understand a few basics about Blogs and the editors. Came across this article of acronyms, a good one -
WYSIWYG (pronounced "wizzy-wig") - is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get and describes a user-interface where users can view text very similar to the end result (Blog editors and Word Processors for ex)
WYSIAYG - What You See Is All You Get (used by programmers who believe that a style of heading " Helvitica 15 bold" provides more information than "Helvitica 15 bold")
WYSIWYM - What You See Is What You Mean (things displayed on a comp. screen should accurately display the information that is trying to be conveyed)
WYTYSIWYTYG - ("whit-iss-ee-whit-ig") What You Think You See Is What You Think You Get (when a program claims to be WYSIWYG but isn't)
WYCIWYG - What You Click Is What You Get or What You Cache Is What You Get (turns up occassionally in the address bar of Firefox when browser is retrieving cached information)
WYPIWYF - What You Print Is What You Fax (popular in the days of Fax Modems)
WYGIWYG - What You Get Is What You Get (an approach to document formatting using markup lauguages ex HTML, to define content and trusting the layout software to make it pretty enough)
YAFIYGI - You Asked For It You Got It
WYSYHYG - What You See You Hope You Get ("wizzy - hig") (a term ridiculing text mode word processing software in Microsoft Windows Video Collection)
WYSIWYG (pronounced "wizzy-wig") - is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get and describes a user-interface where users can view text very similar to the end result (Blog editors and Word Processors for ex)
