I have this weird way of pronouncing some acronyms. For example, I've always said (in my head) FTW as 'fuh tuh wuh' rather than f-t-w or whatever... I have a love-hate relationship with txtspk acronyms. I use most of the ones that are common chatroom abbreviations (brb, afk), mainly because I spend so much time in chatrooms. But I don't ever use them in text messages, and I have never used txtspk. Also, I absolutely detest the acronym LOL, and will never, ever use it (I always use hahaha or variations instead). I don't know why I dislike LOL, I just do...
As far as OTPs go, I think the usage has widened to mean 'favourite pairing in a particular fandom', so you can have an OTP for, say, Buffy and an OTP for Doctor Who and both are still OTPs.
I tend to mainly ship canonical pairings, and not get too involved with shipping wars, as I think people should be able to enjoy shows/books/movies in their own way and see in them whatever they want to see. Some people take shipping way too seriously.
