Forum Tools Question

OK, they say there are no dumb questions. I've been around here since I ordered my Camaro last August, and I am not new to internet forums. I belong to several others on Motorcycles, Radio Control Scale Aircraft, Home Machine Shop, Photography, and even Cooking. I know how to navigate and use most forum features

But! What the h*ll is the poster saying when he/she attaches that MS Word icon in their text? What does it mean?

????

Alfie

"WORD"

Based on the usage, it's often used to agree with someone.

Alfie.
Don't worry, it took me awhile to figure it out too. At least you asked, I didn't.

Cheeez! I thought it meant that the poster was telling the original poster that he needed to use the Grammer Check feature in MS Word.

It means that you agree with what the quoted post is saying. Think along the lines of "fo' shizzle" or "hellz yeah."
