Acronyms and stuff

TheCatWoman

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?

  • I do struggle when people use acronyms for long medical conditions. I would find it much easier if the full terms were used the first time in a post and then abbreviated afterwards. TTFN.
