There are always going to be people who like to try and make complications, mountains and molehills spring to mind.
Bit of a paradox here. You totally agree, but fail to understand the representation of those letters. These acronyms etc have been in use in the English language for some years and therefore have become a terminology of phrase, resulting in the pedantic pedagogy in their own right, hence, they are in fact internationally accepted as words and have found their place in the annuls of modern day lexicons.
Talk about JOTBW and going off on several conjuctive idioms simultaneously here - no let's not.
I could continue to analyse the pedantics etc., going on in this thread, but rather than being seen as insulting to people, I will conclude with this: the dumbing down of language is in part due to a political regimen whose control of the mass media is to keep the underclasses ill-educated. The sad fact is that society has been so manipulated by mass media under the auspices and approval by governments that this so-called 'Freedom of Speech' is actually not worth the 'expletive' paper it's written on.
One further quick point I may add, you all contractually agree to abide by a code of conduct whether purchasing membership or not.
If you do not possess the maturity to express yourself without the use of an expletive, abbreviated, acronym, misspelling or some other derivation of form, then either DO NOT say anything or you are free to go somewhere else.
I am but a poor lowly admin doing my duty looking after your welfare. I don't really want to kick or ban anyone from having a good time, but what some of you fail to comprehend is that with so many new people coming here they learn by experience and this has a bigger effect upon the GC Server and Community than you care to realise.
