It occurs to me that many pipesters will say that pipe smoking is all about relaxing...slowing down. Yet, when it comes to posting to a forum, even while smoking, there is a high use of abbreviations.
So I'm curious...are people too busy slowing down to slow down?
Definitely not trying to harp on anyone, I'm as guilty as the rest when it comes to abbreviations and acronyms. Just a thought that popped into my head when I saw Ghosts huge list!

I'm not in a hurry. I'm just lazy.

Bytor.... I'm with you.
I hate acronyms, the use of them in the work place in my estimation is counterproductive.
I took a survey in a Production Meeting one day. I listed all of the acronyms that were in common use around the office, and asked everyone to write in what they stood for.
If they were in school everyone would have failed.Posted 2 years ago # -
@ Lawrence
that is so funny
sounds like an IT er information technology environment
several times while listening to others at work i thought about the effects of the impending acronym pandemic
but you have placed my mind at ease - no one is being harmed because they are not paying attention
thank you
p s
it seems quite analogous to the main stream media news and political talking points that people buy into and regurgitate amongst themselves without possessing any concrete foundational knowledge from even basic investigationi think therefore i am - lighting it up again and again - that is my plight - caring not whether if i ever
smoke a full bowl to the bottom - on only one light - charles e thrift sr ( am i smoking yet ? )

I'm with both of you.
ACCUWT = Acronyms cause confusion and ultimately waste time.
Posted 2 months ago # -
well acronyms do have utility just like numbers or measures
especially when speaking the full wording that requires uttering a rather unwieldy menagerie of phonemesi would rather say 1 inch than show you this long with my hands or recite the technical definition with history every time

bring me another coconutbefore they started saying

I'm Chief Technology Officer at holding company, that's why I love acronyms, we are using it more than regular words. I've small notebook since 11 years that I use to note down all acronyms I found in all fields I'm in. Since I started smoking pipes, I addedd new section to my notebook regarding to pipe acronyms.

@ hanymamdouh
cool beans there hany mamdouh ( er i mean CB there HM )
it looks to me that you are so proficient at shortening your informational communications steam ( er ICS ) that you are actually able to leave out an adverb and a participle or two in your sentences there and not lose anything of beneficial importance in the transmission .
excellent job my good man ( er EJMGM )
i try as hard as i can to get all that stuff just right and still people look at me cross eyed ( or maybe they get cross eyed when they are reading this )
personally i don't like capitals or punctuation and furthermore i don't care ( er IDC ) - it is all i can do to try to spell and keep up with the grammar and that ain't easy you know ( er TAEYK )
and the most important of all ( er MIOA ) i don't like punctuation getting mixed up with the letters and numbers - i have to force myself to put the ' next to the letters in contractions - otherwise i risk the affectation of people thinking of me being sillyone thing i have been able to do all my life and i have never ever failed at not even one time ( er NEOT ) is :
refrain from using cliche's - i do not remember one time in 54 years of using a cliche - not even tempted to use onedoes that make me a bad man ? ( er DTMMABM ) i think not ( er ITK )
only if that cliche is 100 percent apropos would i even consider it but i don't think it has happened yet
you know you remind me of a friend i used to know ( er AFIUTK )
i called him noe
he kept insisting his name was noel ( pronounced no ell not nowell )
but i asked him - if it is noel then why do i need to say the lp s - you look like someone famous to me - i don't know who it is though - do you get told you look like a movie or tv star or something ?
p s 2 i quit watching tv over 25 years ago so that might give you a clue
p s 3 oh i see you are in egypt - well you should be a movie star ( er YSBAMS ) - you have the nice clean honest face for itPosted 2 months ago # -
@edlogic
What I mean is I only use acronyms in my work, not in conversations. If i'm going to write a technical paper or report to a technical person I would rather use acronyms of technical issues only. That makes it easy for him to understand and track, for example instead of using "Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager - Private Cloud" I would write "MS SCVMM PV". As you may know, all of IT field has very very long statments and product names. It makes us ill keep writing those statments complete. Also, I'm holding bachelor's degree of engineering, all over my 5 years of engineering studies using acronyms for technical terms and expression. We were forced to do that as all of our references follow the same rule of shortening statments.
I think to be more practicle and more productive in work, we need to use acronyms in certain cases and for certain terms while it make the writing very strict and dry with no sense. However, I'm in love with literature, especially Dickens and Edgar Alan Poe, I believe enjoying reading depends os expression and compositions, but if they were to write technical issue, they would use acronyms as Newton's and Einstein did in their papers.
By the way, nobody told me I look like famous star before, only once happened when I was only 1 day of age, a friend of father told that I look like Leonid Brezhnev (do you remeber him?)

@ hanymamdouh
yes i do remember old lenny - in 1977 i was flying on p3c aircraft looking at some of the russian ships and tracking some of the submarines that he commanded
that's funny - i said my first girl child looked like whoopi goldberg - i think some people say she is a movie / tv star
i would have to say - you have changed a lot since that first day - you don't look anything like Leonid Brezhnev any more

@edlogic
BTW I have to add something to my last post. I read Goeorge Orwell's novel "1984", it is very fantastic novel, and I totally agree with him regarding to what he discussed about the "New Language". I prefer this novel to you, you will enjoy it too much and it actually discusses the same point of acronyms as well as alot of other fears.
Also do you believe that my son looks like Leonid !!!! LOL

@ hanymamdouh
1984 ? - a lot of people have the wrong idea that it is fiction
i read it - i watched it and now in the good old usa - we are living it - and i can prove ittwo plus two equals five
and
i didn't slaughter those defenseless ants with fire the other day - i just mechanically increased their absorption of calories beyond their biological capacity to sustain metabolism in a loving manneri think it is contagious

hey - don't worry i think he will grow out of it and look really great like his father
don't stop now - try again and see what happens
who knows the next one might look like george w bush -
would you be afraid to tell anyone ?Posted 2 months ago # -
@edlogic
Wife has some vascular problems and doctor confirmed no pregnancy until finish that issue as it is very dangerous to her life, so no current plans.
If second baby looks like George W. Bush for sure I wont be afraid, babies are god gift, I will only pray to god that he is better than Bush.

@ hanymamdouh
sorry about your wife having troubles
my wife had some trouble like that with the first one but she had more after that - 4 girls and 3 boyshanymamdouh wrote
babies are god gift
double thumbs up - amen for that ( i hope thumbs up are good sign in egypt - it is super good here )
i would say that if you turned out better than Brezhnev then your son will have no trouble -

@ edlogic who wrote
p s - you look like someone famous to me - i don't know who it is though - do you get told you look like a movie or tv star or something ?
when you wrote that - why were you thinking about Flip Wilson ?
cause he is funny and seems and looks like a nice person ?
well, for sure - his english was good enough that you could not have had a clue that he is in egypt, except for his name
you clearly must have overlooked the implication .
i bet this guy is not nasty like Flip Wilson was sometimes though .Posted 2 months ago # -

yeah you are right -
maybe a script or mod can be made to detect the acronyms and allow a pointer hover over them to expand the acronym to the full text or maybe in a popup when clicked .Posted 2 months ago #
