Too much abbreviation
« on: 09 October 2015, 18:49:34 »
After Nicks abbreviation SPQR which left me bamboozled, is it just me or is there too much abbreviation nowadays. We soon shan't have sentences, but abbreviated lines of chat.
I have to admit, I don't understand half the abbreviations on here. I am sure I could cut my reading time by half, not sitting here trying to figure what half the things mean. :(

Oh dear....I must be getting old and senile.  :-[

Far too many TLA's - Three Letter Acroynms.

One of my old favs was PCMCIA - Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, but preferred People Cant Memorise Computer Industry Acronyms

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
