Acronyms Attack
1)Can you think of THREE MORE school appropriate additional acronyms (or abbreviations) that can help save time during a digital conversation if the other party is aware of the acronym? Create new ones if you can't.
- I cannot really think of a whole lot of acronyms that would need to be created. I am not the most tech-savvy person around, and I do not use a lot of acronyms, I usually type out the full words. It only takes another second or so and it makes a lot more sense, sometimes if you use abbreviations, people ask you what they mean and you have to explain it anyway, so I just eliminate that extra step. One thing I say to my friends all the time is Stay Gold Ponyboy, so maybe "SGP" could be one? My friends and I always torment each other really bad, and say "Who asked you anyway?" Even if we just asked that person a question, so maybe we could start saying "WAY?" Another one could be "SC" (stay cool) or "POM" (peace out man.) (They call me a conservative hippie for a reason!) I am quite old fashioned, so I am not really a good person to ask about acronyms, I do not even know what the ones that already exist mean.
2)List four places where you would NEVER use acronyms (or abbreviations) when communicating digitally. For Example: On a digital resume.
- One place I would consider it completely inappropriate to use acronyms would be in any type of formal writing (eg; a resume, a project, legal documentations etc.) In my opinion the only place acronyms are appropriate is in social media or texting. Some doctors use shortened versions of long medical terms and procedures, and they go to school for years and years to learn all that they know so as long as they are qualified it would be acceptable in that aspect as well.
