We're abusing our acronym privileges...

[Sawyer]

... and I blame moral decay.

Okay, not really, but it is getting annoying. I'm seeing people shave down short, two-word phrases into acronyms that take me a ****ing minute and a half to figure out, when if they had actually just spelled out the words, I would already be done. Come on, people. Be your best selves.

 

[Boom]

Yeah. It's getting ridic.











Someone shoot me.

 

[Sawyer]

That's an abbreviation, which I'm relatively okay with.

 

[Duran Man]

Any exs.?

Edit: Another abbreviation

 

[Boom]

You need to just GWTF, Sawyer. Let's not make MOOMH here.

 

[Snow Queen]

IKR? It's so SAI. IWPWS.

Spoiler

But, seriously, it always irks me when I see those kinds of abbreviations.

 

[Sawyer]

Stop speaking this language I don't understand!

 

[Snow Queen]

NMYSGHLU.

Spoiler

Never man, you should get hip like us.

THREAD OF THE YEAR!!!!

Though every once in a while I just stop midpost and think "there is no way I'm typing out The Dark Knight Rises".

 

[Sawyer]

There are exceptions.

TDKR is acceptable. TA for The Avengers... less so. Just put Avengers. You don't even have to do the "The". But TA? ****ing shame on you.

 

[Boom]

But why would I spend the extra second writing out Transformers when I could just write Trnsfrmrs?

 

[Thundercrack85]

Star Wars and Star Trek fans take it to a whole new level.

I've never agreed with an OP as much as I agree with this one.

Sawyer, have you heard of Tumblr? Grab an oa and find followers for your crusade.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I always read "SMH" as "S*** May Happen."

 

[Sawyer]

**** May Happen
So Much Hate
Shaking My Head

What does it mean? What DOES it mean?!

 

[Snow Queen]

Why would anyone type Iron Man when you can type IM? But let's take it a step further:

Why call it Thor? Let's call it T.

Or Terminator. Let's call it T.

And Transformers can be T.

 

[Sawyer]

I don't have much problem with IM for Iron Man either. If you put down IM3, I think I have a pretty good idea what you're referring to...

 

[zeroapoc]

It has really irritated me when I've seen acronyms for movies and I have no idea. Typing isn't hard.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Actually there's already an acronym for Transformers.

 

[Snow Queen]

Actually there's already an acronym for Transformers.

I know, it's TF.

But it's too long.

 

[Rocanrol]

I'm not that into the forum, and at the beggining, it was really hard to follow a discussion.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I know, it's TF.

But it's too long.

I just call it 'formers.

 

[Sawyer]

Too many letters.

 

[3rdstone]

Well, in threads were Bond fans discuss their favourite films, it can be pretty hard occassionally when trying to remember what TWINE, TMWTGG or OHMSS mean..
