Police say gunman is 'contained' after mass shooting at south Minneapolis church

77. Oh, it has become a crusade for me

When we comment online, the point is to communicate. If I have to go look up an obscure acronym, that puts limits on the communication. Sometimes I can't even find what it means; I think some people just make them up as they go whether it is to save them time or to purposely be elusive. I find it often rude and inconsiderate.

Also there are exclusive acronyms that people of certain occupations use in the workplace. Somehow they often take those home with them and annoy friends and family with their "work speak", as if everyone in the world knows what they mean. I've had jobs like that, but I knew that other people wouldn't know what I'm talking about, so I never used them outside work.

We aren't the only ones who get annoyed with them, though it might be generational!

Thanks for the conversation. Take care.
