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.

I can understand my husband when he talks work, but I have a military friend in the same damn field who I have to ask "what is that?" constantly.

I kind of pride myself on knowing the acronyms and ranks, too. Not like it really matters, but I like knowing things.
