Give me a true acronym.
For instance, you would claim SCUBA is one, but SCBA is the same thing and you would call it an initialism.

Kind of all comes down to how you want to pronounce something.
It is an argument that is undertaken from a condecending point. (That means it is a way to talk down to people)

You're right its not but I don't think I said it was. And the only relavance there is with : cheers : is that it's something I do here as well as texting and acronyms are used in texting.

It's possible. I'm running a 102 temperature at the moment.

I always like explaining what condecending means when I use it in a sentence. Really drives the point home.

I might steal that.Posted on 10/5/14 at 7:41 pm to northshorebamaman
Feel free, it certainly isn't an original thought.
