IMO

Casual stance signal

IMO is internet shorthand for "in my opinion," used to signal that what follows is personal judgment rather than established fact: IMO, the sequel was better than the original.

The stronger form IMHO adds "humble" or "honest" to the formula, though rarely with genuine humility.
