If anyone else knows of any other 'interpreters' online for other words of twisted English, please share them here. Thanks. |
I have to say that referring to Dave's post about "the real world," if you are going to be an engineer... get used to the headaches. I literally sit through 3-6 2 hour meetings a week, where I would say 50% of the words uttered are acronyms. It even gets as bad as people saying "but if we check GP[General Practice] 2.9 you will see that CM[Configuration Management] does not follow that PC[Process Control]." Or something like that.
And I have to respectfully disagree with Dave on not using LOL. Its an acronym of this generation. Its dorky to type in "laugh out loud" when you want to respond to someone and acknowledge that what they just said was funny. I even got my grandmother using LOL and she is like the chief of grammar police!
