Initialisms

Jan 24, 2009 10:56

I never liked the initialisms people use on the Internet, over chat, and in real life ("IRL").

[Some of you may say, "IKR!!!!?!?!"]

Pretty soon we'll be seeing

EMDW = Elementary, my dear Watson.
FMDIDGAD = Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

I may be old-fashioned, but I like spelling things out.

Of course, YMMV (Your Moose May do something beginning with V...).

But I love using *IRL*!

& *LOL* @ EMDW! :))

I'm an idiot like that.

EMDW was inspired by an initialism I saw on ONTD: MTE (my thoughts exactly). Now that I think about it, they don't quite connect, haha.
