An Academic Look at AFAIAC

AFAIAC is used like an adverb of concession, which is similar in meaning to "although this is just my view." When placed at the start of a sentence, an adverb of concession (or any adverbial phrase) is often followed by a comma to separate it from the main clause. However, in text speak or in online chat forums, this comma is usually omitted for brevity. AFAIAC is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Aay Eff Aay Eye Aay Cee), but as this is harder to say than "As far as I am concerned," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation AFAIAC is for efficiency in writing and not efficiency in speech.
