We're abusing our acronym privileges...

[Mr.M]

AFAIK. IIRC. This internet slang is KILLING me. Seriously I have to google all these God forsaken abbreviations. Guys/gals, would you type that stuff on a formal document? No. Don't type it here either. Be grammatically correct. Movie acronyms I can forgive though, because this is a movie forum.

 

[MrMaooz]

Wtf is wtf?

 

[DeadPresident]

IMO this thread is totes OTT.

 

[KevanG]

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

IKR? We should just say we like watching those Trans movies instead.

Wait...

You just got me excited, Kev. Continue.

Wow this thread is so true. I hate when people use acronyms for like two letter words or names like Ghost Rider or Iron Man.

 

[KevanG]

You just got me excited, Kev. Continue.

I'm not sure how or why.

 

[vindrow]

... 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.

I think Sawyer is one of the most entertaining and smart posters here on the Hype... But he had to have known that this thread was just going to degenerate into people posting acronyms? AIR?

 

[Superman_200]

It gets very annoying when the comic book fans say like for example TTDW and us that area not comic book fans saw the movie, but to us it is just Thor 2. Not Thor The Dark World, if you tell me that I won't know if it is the first Thor or the 2nd. If you are going to post on a board for everyone to see, there are people who will read the posts who pay a lot less attention to the title of a movie or actors in a movie than those who are fans of the comics and are already invested in the movie. Plus, not everyone will remember the names of the actors in all this either so saying Thor and CH may not work because to a lot of us the names slip the mind and he is "the blonde guy who plays Thor", well great, now I'll have to google it to find out what his name was.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

hate em.

its not X1. Its X-Men. Its not X3. Its X-Men: The Last Stand, or at least X-Men 3. I guess it IS X2 tho.

 

[KevanG]

X-Men, X2, X3 or X-Men 3 as no one wants to type out X-Men 3 The Last Stand.
