To abbreviate or not to abbreviate that is the question?!

Tuesday September 28, 2010 at 7:03pm
I saw a discussion on the Gemini Forces group on LinkedIn yesterday that made me smile, as there were abbreviations of sayings, such as IMOH and VMT…. ‘in my honest opinion’ and ‘very many thanks’, so with that in mind, what sayings do you shorten in this manner? And what do they mean, as I can guess many people are like me and not always sure what they stand for!! Although I do enjoy using PFA, ‘please find attached’!!

Or is it a lazy use of the English language? I can imagine Lynne Truss, the author of ‘Eats, Shoots & Leaves’ would think so!! Or am I wrong?

So what abbreviations of sayings do you use in the military or civilian workplace and what do they mean? Or do they frustrate you? Do you use them whilst professionally or socially networking? Is it text talk evolving into the workplace? Or do you never use them?

VMT in advance for your comments!
