Just the other day, my cousin who is home for the holidays,
texted me to inquire about whether she could come for a visit before schools
reopened. And after reading her text, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. I passed
the phone over to the rest of my family as they were more than curious to know
why I was laughing so loudly. And before long the whole house was in stitches.
Ok, right now i think you are thinking we are a mean bunch. But
point of correction, we weren’t laughing at my cousin, we were laughing at
ourselves! This is because we were just realizing that we were either getting too old
or it’s the times that were changing and moving too fast for us to catch up
with it. The text that she sent me was basically utilizing less than 20
characters but the amount of information that it carried was 200 characters
worth!! Every word she wrote in that text was abbreviated into an acronym of
some sort.
