An Academic Look at AFAICS
AFAICS is used like an adverb of concession, which is similar in meaning to "although this is just my opinion." When used 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.What Did We Say before Texting and Social Media?
