Hard to know where to jump in here!! I can just say that using acronyms and such on here does not bother me much. I can let them go just like I let lapses in grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. etc. My own personal opinion is: I am most interested in WHAT someone believes/thinks.

Hard to know where to jump in here!! I can just say that using acronyms and such on here does not bother me much. I can let them go just like I let lapses in grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. etc. My own personal opinion is: I am most interested in WHAT someone believes/thinks. If I can get the gist of what they are trying to say then that is what is most important to me rather being caught up in the minutiae of the words, grammar, spelling, etc. they use to express themselves. This is a comments section, not an academic page, people tend to use a more conversational style to get their thoughts across rather than adhering to Turabian, Chicago Manual of Style, or the OED (if you don't know what THAT is you should get out more...), or any other set of "rules" you may live by. I just overlook such lapses in the interest of expression. Meh. If you don't know what something is, ask. I don't tend to use that many acronyms anyway, but if someone doesn't know what one is I've used, then I am not at all put out to inform them. Not everybody will know them and THAT'S OKAY.
