We had this subject brought up last year sometime. I do not initial anything if I don't have to. I listen to my son the IT/CIO which I know is a title or two, but I just say he works for a company and he is their computer go to person.
When I was growing up -- I am going to age you now -- we had spelling bees. I loved them. I was always top speller, because my mother wanted to make sure I knew not only what the word meant, but how to use it and most importantly how to spell it. What good is a word if you cannot spell it? So, you see on television "sur" "evr" "LMHO" and it is so sloppy and it just, to me, looks dumb. It makes no sense. They don't have spelling bees in school anymore. They haven't for several years. I asked when my son was in school. You ready for this one? Competition is not good for children. It makes them feel inferior. Holy Cats!!!!!! So here we are, they can't even spell "sure" "ever" or "laugh my head off". I don't laugh my head off. I think it is pathetic. Remember SST? Well, the Super Sonic Transport airplane is grounded permanently. But they have an acronym for it.
I am sorry, but the hairs on the back of my neck just flair out when this subject comes up. I let my grandkids know that if they send me an email, spell every word out - if you don't know how to spell it, look it up in the dictionary.
Perhaps we can set a precedence here? No acronyms, no DH or DDIL or GGS/D. I can't even order a BLT at a restaurant - "I'll have a bacon, lettuce and tomato with Miracle Whip, please!
Have a good day. I have a new quilt to work on starting today. Calico Puzzle - it is easy enough, but I am doing it with a lot of fussy-cutting.
