^^^ what StoryGirl83 said. Words weren’t abbreviated. As a student taking notes, sure I abbreviated my stuff but it wasn’t a rule that we were taught. I think ASAP and SOS were probably the most common, and I remember from English class that i.e. means “that is” and e.g. means “for example”. then when the internet “started” in the mid 90s, like Mar wrote above, those abbreviations were the norm. I am old so I get totally lost with the new abbreviations that kids come up with (like is there a difference between LOL and LULZ?) heck it takes me googling half the stuff... and is it wrong to be happy that I finally remember SMH = shaking my head?
