Initial That

I work for a company that goes by the initials PPG. On any given day I might talk with someone from ISA, DDB, PII, HK, NCSA, IPI, DGS or U of I.

When I go home at night I can turn on my TV and watch CSI, NCIS, AFI, DWTS, CSI:NY, NFL or P.O.V. Or I could put a VHS in my VCR if I don't watch a DVD, DVR or listen to a CD, or AM / FM radio.

When I get on the internet I read words like LOL, OMG, WTF, FB, MFT, BFF, BTW, THX or TTLY, just to name a few.

Life has always been about short-cuts. And now that attitude has finally invaded the English language. It will be interesting to see what lies in the future of the spoken and written word.
