Acronyms can kiss my ass! ........ ACKMA!
Can we make thinks more cryptic by using acronyms when it's not really needed? Are people just that lazy? YES! THEY ARE!
In the English language, the widespread use of acronyms, initialisms, and contractions is a relatively new linguistic phenomenon, becoming increasingly evident from the the mid-20th century onwards. As literacy rates rose, and as sciences and technologies advanced, bringing with them more complicated terms and concepts, the practice of abbreviating terms became increasingly convenient.
It's for using with big complicated terms and ideas! Not everyday words!, I give you this!...
