"IIRC"?

What does "IIRC" stand for? I have seen term used on "Basic Machinist Tool Lists".



Thanks,

"If I Recall Correctly" or "If I Remember Correctly"

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly. Also see, AFAIR = As Far as I Recall.

Used to soften what might otherwise be seen as an absolute authoritative statement.

Given that all* absolute statements are incorrect, it's often used.
