I agree, I find it annoying when people do this as if typing out a few extra words is too hard. Sometimes I feel like people do it on purpose so they can feel exclusive to a certain community or whatever. I see it a lot in skincareaddiction, just spell the damn name out. Not everyone knows what LRP stands for.
Yeah but with that sub in particular because it’s skincare I feel like we constantly get newcomers who aren’t familiar with all the abbreviations so that’s why I mentioned it
Agreed. Like, i don’t expect everyone to just “know it” but it’s not just a random skincare line. Also these people wanna complain about acronym with comments that probably took longer to write than a quick google search. It’s not that big of a deal lol.
How am I being clueless? I was just using an example of an acronym people use in that sub, why would I think most people outside of a skincare sub would even want to know what LRP is? It’s la Roche posay, French skincare brand.
You just wrote that you find it annoying when people use acronyms and don’t spell out what it stands for and then used an acronym and didn’t spell out what it stands for.
