HC is Hemianthus callitrichoides.

I wish this bad habit of extreme shorthanding of plant names would stop. It's fine to use HC if the poster first writes the full name of the plant somewhere in his/her post. Otherwise, it's just poor etiquette IMO.

I thaught it was RAOK. Random Act Of Kindness.

MTS could also mean Multiple Tank Syndrome. A few of us suffer from the contagious disorder.

Came back for a month now and was trying to figure out for the longest time what RAOK meant. Isn't labeling RAOK a bit.....not so random? I dunno just me.. I feel if people know that you are being kind about it they would know. There's no need for "labeling". In any case. Off topic, but this thread was helpful. THANKS OP!

This is absolutely helpful. I saw 'lol' here and there. I would like to know what does it mean.
