Forum-Info Acronyms
OP: April 18, 2010, 12:23:34 PM
I am not a fan of acronyms, but sometimes they are helpful. What I dislike is when they are used in place of proper grammar or full conversation. I have compiled a brief list of common acronyms along with a few words and concept- phrases common to the topic Standing in the context of midlife crisis and infidelity. My personal preference is to write out most phrases, but use acronyms when they stand for something specific such as a person or single idea.
