If you ask anyone on the Bugaboo Stamps DT they will tell you how enamoured I am with abbreviations and initialism! Really! You'd think I was a member of some US Gov't agency! However, I simply think that I have gotten so used to using a version (or two!) of cyber-speak, that it has become second nature for me to use it all the time- thus the title of this post!! LOL!
