You don't ALWAYS have to use an accronym.

I havn't figured out if this is a new trend because people are getting more lazy or if it is related to how we send messages via our cell phones. (probably neither)

I always vowed i would never shorten my words when texting. However, I must admit since i now have a phone with a full key board sometimes it is so much easier to type u(you).

The problem for me lies in the fact that people are carelessly using acronyms for phrases that have already established a meaning. Such as...

BS: Now, I don't know how many of you think of Bible Study when you hear those initials... but that is NOT what came to my mind.

BM: I recently got engaged and have been searching on bridal websites. SO many people abbreviate Bridesmaid with BM... I just feel like you would be able to figure out that one...


those are just a few that i have heard recently. Is it that hard to just say the whole word?

i think not.
