Acronyms…
Written by Jimmy
I don’t mind Acronyms. I think it’s funny that some folks think LOL meant lots of love and that it lead to some very bad texting:
She: At the hospital. My dad’s not well at all.
He: I’m so sorry. LOL
She: What? Wha’ts funny about this?
He: Nothing, you and your mom are in my prayers. LOL.
She: I hate you.
But I digress. I like that I think I’ve discovered the most inefficient acronym… W.W.W. It is far easier to say world wide web than to spell out ‘Double U, Double U, Double U.’
But I digree. This morning, early Beijing time, I’m watching CNN and they’re talking about Lance Armstrong (please, everyone read Secret Race by Tyler Hamilton!), and they were talking about his TDF wins. What? It is just as easy to say Tour de France as TDF. Why the hell is TDF helpful to speaker or listener?
And that’s all I wanted to say. I need to go back to eating by Diet Coke and Rice Congee!
