I utterly despise acronyms, it is like engaging with a sms girl.

It also makes life very difficult for non native English speakers, however this might be a positive in your view, as it encrypts your language for outsiders.

We've certainly seen many a fbi agent stumble over internal know to know lexicon, so its usefulness can't be denied.

I also am somewhat annoyed by the ever increasing reach towards latin for language solutions.

But hey im just germanicist to the point of wanting words like control be written with a K and that that K is written as a ᚲ, but a bit enlarged obviously.

Feel you in a way though, especially on the use of use haha, and punctuation but again im not a native English speaker so i dont have much of centre point on it to begin with.
