Okay, the lame kids.

God, I hate acronyms, and I use them all the time now
We have a book of commonly used acronyms here at work.

I think there are currently 900+ entries.

I truly believe people use them to make themselves sound cool while simultaneously making the person ignorant of the meaning look stupid.

Try being in the military some time. You can't go 3 sentences without using/hearing an acronym.

Yeah, I hate it too.
