I'd also like to point out, that stupid abbreviations and shorthand is not the sole province of internet dickwads. In business it's fucking rampant. I had a meeting yesterday with the CMO, the AD, the AP and the DDs to talk about re-orging GP to de-cent and take the job out of the hands of the MODs. WTF?

I hate that, too ... especially when you are new. They throw out all of these acronyms and you're automatically supposed to know what the hell they are talking about.

My title is "Migration Coordinator" ... they often refer to me as an MC.
That always makes me chuckle.

[Also, the title of this thread is correct I think. The other way I could have put it is "Internet speech I am way tired of" but I don't think you can end a sentence with "of," can you?
Well, no you can't. Of course "Internet speech of which I am way tired" isn't even a sentence. Neither is "Internet speech I am tired of."

YEAY WE WENT PARTY ZALL NITEEE.
