Usage
IIRC = If I Remember Correctly or IF I Recall Correctly?
THE CANONICAL ABBREVIATION/ACRONYM LIST (Compiled by James Marshall) http://www.astro.umd.edu/~marshall/abbrev.html
gives two variants:
IIRC If I Recall/Remember Correctly
while
The on-line hacker Jargon File - http://www.elsewhere.org/jargon/
gives just one:
IIRC // Common abbreviation for "If I Recall Correctly".
My first question is addressed to people who use the abbreviation "IIRC": which way do you decipher it?
My second question is for those who use the BLOCKED EXPRESSION in real life: do you say "If I recall correctly" or "If I remember correctly"? Or do you use them interchangeably?
