How often have you gotten confuse or misled by
acronyms?
Sk, do you whats that? well i dont, till someone told me.
Well you see i was chatting with this person online and i was like "where do you stay? "
she/he replied "sk" . (what the hell is that?)
she/he enlightened me " it's sengkang " . what ? Is that legalized?
Sometime ago, i was skating with my usual pals when a couple of them asked if we wanna go to "YP" .I racked my brains,
thinking what could that be..
It turned
out to be something less complex than what i came up.
YP= youth park , man they oughta be decapitated.
My younger brother used to say "hey can i use the com?"
It totally irritates me, i know he was refering to the computer but in computer terms "com" mean communication port ,thus com port 1 ,com port 2 and so on.I corrected him,made sure he never say "Com" again unless he's refering to com port 1.
In general, shortforms and abbreviations are fine as long as it's internationally used. E.g PC ,everybody knows whats that.
And who can forget the infamous KKK and the most commonly used ASAP,AKA.
By the way , whenever i hear someone say "suntec" or "taka" , that pisses me off.Why cant the particular person say suntec city or takashimaya.Is it that difficult ?
The fact that people come up with all sort of abbreviations that
were first used among their
their posse makes it ambiguous to the public.
So next time say "PC" or computer instead of "Com" !
