The Fall of Single Feather...
Abbreviations
also known as, Short forms.
For example, a famous one, also a noun. The United Nations (UN).
A Not so Famous one, Barclays Premier League (BPL).
Short forms has really evolved in its usage around the world. In the long past, Greece and Rome used to used abbreviations in their scripts. They simply avoid spelling the entire word.
One example, chn. for Children, oftenly used by my lecturer.
But, in the modern days, it is used in oh, so many ways.
One particular favourite of mine, OMGWTFBBQ. I have no idea why the BBQ is there, but ah.... It works.
People frequently used short forms like, OMG, WTF, LOL, BRB, and shit like that.
But.
But.
What's more amazing, is that my father's abbreviation skills is awesome as well.
In fact, it is so awesome, that as a man who have only been through a short education without learning anything about English, I have to say he is pretty damn good.
This is an example of a msg in his inbox. It was impossible to decode it.
"9O9O"
Give it a try. I bet you can't solve it.
