Anyone else irritated by made up abbreviations?

For some reason, this one bothers me something fierce. It makes me feel like I am dealing with a juvenile, and not an adult. Do you find them cute (as I THINK they are intended to be) or irritating.

Some of the ones that jump out at me:
Buffy
Addy
Ressie

It could be that it bothers me so much because I have a coworker that sends emails to the entire team addressed to "Kidderoos" and ending with "Huggles" that is always full of these made up abbreviations. Somedays I want to scream, I AM NOT A KIDDEROO! I am old enough to be your father! Whew, got that off my chest if nothing else....

 

Don't be cray cray tatterdema! :evillaugh

 

Smh lol tfs

 

Now THATS funny. Another co worker has Cray Cray on her timecard.....

 

tfs?

Is that like a TPS report?

 

My ex wife insisted on being called K.

She would get made if someone wrote it out Kay. She would make them change it to just the letter K and berate them like they were stupid for not knowing. her name wasnt even Kay, it was Kathy.

 

Not a MUA but grown people talking about going to the 'potty' ?????

Really????

I had that when I was 2.

 

OMG... there's more important things to be concerned with IMHO.

 

And yet you took the time out to respond.....

 

This thread has me on Google so much trying to figure out some of these, but as usual, flusher got me again. Hopefully, I guessed right!

Hey...two I knew!

 

Acronyms dont bother me, as I think they do serve a purpose. Just made up cutsie names, like Buffy. I mean you are saving 1 letter.....

 

Just to stir the pot because I'm bored and broke.

SEE, no one else likes it either. Dropped from a high of 612 to a low of 15435, although it is making a comeback

 

I dislike use of texting abbreviations when used in an email or when posting on a message board. It's hard for me to read. I understand people type on their phones or ipads and don't want to take the time to type full words, but it still bothers me.

I do a lot of editing at work and have to tell/ask people all the time to make sure they write out the full meaning of an acronym the first time it's used. And no, acronyms don't bother me as much as abbreviations for no reason. Though they can be very hard to follow.....

Good po-po.

 

Good work, Joe!

 

Flushie, you might be jelly, but I say go potty too. Although it may be related to the people I spend my days around. It bleeds into my regular life.

I know, I know, that's totes cray cray!
