Thank you Rincewind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's good to see something explaining it a bit better.

So we've abbrevated the abbreviation? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

All the same, I feel that abbreviation is a sign of laziness. If something is used frequently, then it may be warrented, but for common words being used casually, it is not necessary. I think the most depressing abbreviation I have heard of is the Church translating the Bible into SMS. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
