My only comment is, write down how many acronyms you use during the course
of a day.

If any of you were ever in the military service, country does not matter,
slang terms, acronyms are common place.

The problem we now have is computer programs, systems have their own
language, which I must admit I do not understand.  Wireless communication is
another.

Not trying to be an ole fuddy duddy, but fact is, them critters are here to
stay.

Do you remember

smak or tststsa
