I hate acronyms. (Rant)
 

This thread was inspired by the following post:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showth...e=0#Post4937917

Why do people use stupid acronyms? Is it that hard to type out the words? Unless you are a leper with one arm and two fingers, you have no right to use stupid acronyms.
Here is a list of acronyms that are acceptable to use:
USA
NASA
SCUBA
Here is a list of acronyms that are not acceptable to use:
BWDIK
SIIHP
NSFW
any other acronym that I have no clue what it means.

When you use a stupid acronym you waste everyone's time and you sound like an idiot. No one is impressed you that you have 1 million posts in 4 months and can write an entire paragraph in acronyms that only 20 other people understand.

Let me help you out. (might be the first time I've ever done this as my patience threshold for idiots is low.)

SIIHP = Stick it in his/her pooper, refers to anal sex, but people use it to talk about regular vag sex as well now.

YSSCKY = you should seriously consider killing yourself

NSFW = not safe for work, this acronym was created by the website www.fark.com a long time ago, and when you see nsfw it normally entails some sort of nudity or partial nudity.

BWDIK = I have no clue so I'm not even going to try and guess.

An acronym is when the shortend letters make a word like "nasa", USA is not an acronym, it is an initialism (invite OOT douche bags who argue over dominics their to start arguing about this, not to give you a spoiler, but this is in fact the case). But youve been here since august and have 70 some posts, so why doesnt the whole forum change to suit your personal pet peeves.

Btw., my favorite acronym is IRLM. A long time ago IBM created something they called an 'Information Management System' which quickly became known as IMS.

Some years later they made a new database system called DB2 and they needed a subsystem to control access to parts of the database. They snatched something from IMS and called it the 'IMS resource lock manager'. This - of course - became known as IRLM.

So the 'I' in IRLM is an abbreviation of another acronym.

Your humor wasn't Maddox-esque. It was [censored] stupid-esque.
