Abrv.

bf was originally boy friend, not best friend.


Think of all the abbrivations people us as an escape route from having to write out the whole entire word. We have to consider two things: 1. How much time is it really saving us? And, 2. Does the abbrivation make sense? If so, wat exactly does it stand for?

There are common abbriviations, like 'LOL (Laughing out loud, lots of love, or lugging old luggage), JK (Just kidding, Joanne Kathleen- as in Rowling- and Jelly Krunchie), and ptdcgbiwtmiwmmp (pass that delicious chicken gravy because I want to mix it with my mashed potatoes, and please Terry, don't create goofy behavior in windy temperatures, making it way more muddy possibly).

We also have to take into consideration if it actually stands for what it says it does. I know for an almost fact that M.D. stands for 'Making Dinner' and P.S. stands for 'Please Stand'. B.F. stands for 'Baked Fruit' and CIA stands for 'Causing Ignorant Actions'. USA stands for 'Untitled Scanned Attatchment' and FBI stads for 'Flippin' Bad Itch.'

These abreviations can still be used liberally, but be careful not to mix them up. For example, do not proclaim you are a faithful citizen of the Untitled Scanned Attatchment, or that you totally made out with your Baked Fruit. That your name is Jane Smith, Making Dinner, or that you are a proud member of the Flippin' Bad Itch.

And for goodness sake, don't close with:

Please Stand: Write back!
