I do not like abbreviations. Never have. Never will.
Our internet and mobile society has created a subculture of abbreviated communicators and it absolutely drives me bonkers. It was sort of okay when all we used was ASAP and RSVP, but now it’s just plain ridiculous. I get that it’s faster to key in a few letters rather than entire words. I understand the reasons. I really don’t care what they are.
We’re an endangered species, folks. We’re losing our ability to communicate.
Nothing creative about that.

Lol…your absolutely right. I have to phone my little sister so she can decipher her texts for me. Even with words I struggle to understand her…
( Btw that’s the first time I’ve ever written lol. Feels strangely liberating. Thanks)
