I am acronym inept. It takes me forever to figure them out. My brain is not hardwired to decipher them without great strain. I think too hard, and try to make them more than they are. LOL, is that laugh out loud, lots of love,or lemon,orange,lime? It seems like everybody is on the bandwagon of acronyms. Religion has WWJD, fast food has McD's, KFC, BK, LJS, you have BMW, AT&T,BP&J, and on and on. When you read the code the youth of today has engineered, it can be mind-boggling. They are more advanced than the KGB was in transmitting secret messages by text in plain sight. Companies are obsessed with acronyms for internal forms, like an oc25-a, or some such thing that only the true pencil pushing geek will ever remember, just call it what it is people a time sheet! While I am on my soap box lets talk about the people who insist on shortening people's names for them. Here's a hint, if I really wanted to be called Vicki, I would not introduce myself as Victoria. Ultimately we can say we do it for the sake of time, like short hand. But what about the people like me, that it takes 3 times longer to decipher, are we just SOL(isn't that also a test?) What happens when we wake up only to find that the world is unable to write a complete sentence without abbreviating anything. Will it be the EOTWAWKI? At any rate see u tmoro.........
