OMG! Pampered cheffers! What are you saying? LOL.

 

The Pampered Cheffers do like their abbreviations.  Which makes them the same as everyone else, then.

But when this all begin? At what point did we lose the ability to write a full sentence?  When did we realise that there simply wasn't enough time in the day to say "You know, I simply had to 'laugh out loud!'"

I've seen (hang on...is 'I've' an abbreviation or just a short form....?  Keep going...) I've seen
P cheffers on Her Majesty's facebook writing things like: 'I want to make sure I guide people to products they'll use everyday and not just special occasions so I'm not sure if a DMMP with the MTS is a good idea? How often will they use one?'

Well, Dear Correspondent, my DMMP gets quite a workout, thanks for asking, I use it a fair bit. (Page 32, if you're following this in the catalogue).

Or...'Has anyone used the SRB yet? It caught all my fat. Wonderful!'  I'm so pleased that a simple thing like an SRB has made such a difference to that woman's fat issues.  If only the rest of use were in on the secret. Wouldn't we all like to have our fat gathered in with such ease?

Still, like I say, abbreviations are the norm and probably regardless of whatever industry you are in, never mind the current everyday text-speak.  It keeps those in the know, in the know, and the rest at arms distance; a little secret just between us.  There was even one on Supersize v Superskinny the other week, so I'm told by a friend: OEA (over eaters annonymous). Of course that could have been having a LOL at my expense: ROFL!

Personally I blame Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds. " F.A.B dad!"  Apparently FAB simply meant 'message received and understood'. The creator Gerry Anderson said it didn't stand for anything; it was just meant to sound 'hip' in the 1960s.

Well I'm too busy to write any more sentences for now, so TTFN.
