I'd be cool about using the list for jobs so long as it doesn't turn into a
disease!

AFAIK is a well known acronym for an often used and long-winded phrase while
"ne1" is a poor attempt at phonetic contraction of a single word which
doesn't take long to type anyhow.  I guess the likes of AFAIK arose in the
days when modems ran at 9k or less and 20 or so characters instead of five
increased download time significantly!
