I am believing you, and not wanting to believe you, and not willing to go look for myself...LOL and TMI are in the dictionary for over a decade? OMG!!!
To be far our generation in chat rooms really lite a fire on this. I remember in school I had to stop using these because they were starting to show up in my papers. lol
FYI 🤪 acronyms have always been a part of our society before the kids got their hands on it. They were just used for medical and historical purposes like WW1.
Every time I almost type on of these out, I catch myself and type the whole thing. I am trying and I also don’t want to try. Just say what you mean and say it in a way we all get what you mean. Can we please just use words. I am just going to keep using words and communicate on a way that makes sense to me and be curious and ask when I don’t know what something means. I’m ok looking old because I like that I’m 50.
Oh my gosh I loved this so much Sherry! Gaaawwdd! I'm okay with using few short forms like fyi (for your information), wrt (with respect to), lol and tmi. Rest I'm blank!
I was like...gosh! I feel like a oldie! My friends who are in 30s use these short forms left & right...and I typically appreciate people writing fully formed sentences in messages...
I'm okay with one or two short forms in a message. But when the whole message is short form!!??? God it pisses me off!
P.S.: Can you believe I had to go and search lmao full form right now🤣🤣
Today an adult of my generation started a message with FWIW. That one took me a minute. (“for what it’s worth”)
It really is rather disruptive to a conversation when you have to go and Google an abbreviation!
Absolutely! I would have definitely needed to google that one! 😅
I figured it out, but it still interrupted my thought process.
😂Right!
I never remember this one!

You got me thinking about all the "accepted" acronyms like ER, ASAP, and my brain just stopped mid-sentence haha.
Mine did the same. lol
😂😂
Haha I am glad I am not alone in that.
I do have ADHD so it’s to be expected lol
Thank you for sharing this. I feel so seen and understood in my confusion of why?
😉🙌🏾💕
