I can appreciate most all the acronyms that have arisen since the “Internet age”. But for crying out loud, it’s been out of hand for far too long now. And while I may not condone all of it, or get frustrated by some of it – I still feel as if the “new stuff” is making me more stupid somehow.
A little background:
When I began my “Internet endeavor” in 1991, people weren’t using all the acronyms they are now – no where near. The first I was exposed to was:
- LOL
- LMAO [LMFAO]
- BRB
- AFK
I could even stand the ones that evolved into or came much later, such as:
- JK
- OMG
- WTF
- FTW
The one’s I never liked and never will are:
- L8TER (or any variation using numbers)
- ROTFL
- B4 (or CU, CYA, or any variation of using “C” as “see”)
- M$ (because that’s gay)
There you have it. Live by my opinion.
