Acronyms and stuff

I seem to be the only one who dosen't understand acronyms and initialised words and phrases. It's very disconcerting to read a post or a whole thread where I find I don't understand what people are talking about because of acronyms and stuff. Is this just me being an old fogey who dosen't understand text speak  or something?

  • Many people here use acronyms and initialisms for medical conditions, educational services and types of social benefits that are entirely meaningless to me. I either have to ignore the post or do an internet search to find what the initials stand for, it is a bit wearying.
