FYI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FYI is a common abbreviation of For Your Information.

  • FYI, short for 'For Your Information', is commonly used in email or memo messages, typically as the first thing on the subject line, to flag the message as an informational message that does not require a response.
  • On the Internet, FYIs are a subset of the RFC series.
    The following description is taken from FYI 1, the FYI on FYIs: The FYI series of notes is designed to provide Internet users with a central repository of information about any topics which relate to the Internet. FYIs topics may range from historical memos on "Why it was done this way" to answers to commonly asked operational questions.
  • FY_, a play on the common "FYI". Here you change the last letter of the acronym to match the first letter of the person's name whom you are speaking with. For instance, if you wanted to tell "Kevin" something, you would "FYK" him (that is to say, you would "For Your Kevin" him).
