Please help me again.

I've read this: "YMMV, but I would never put one of these fish under my care into FW."

What does "YMMV" mean?

Thanks.

FTW = For the world / For the win.

More commonly used as "for the world".

The context used would be = PUFFERS FTW!!!!!

Meaning you love puffers. : )

Also can be used when voting for something.

Edit:// I'm pretty sure I.e = Example.
