    I think the only thing that has changed is the speed with which information and possibly new ideas reach audiences today. Abbreviations and acronyms have been around for a long time, and in several natural languages.

    The U.S. military gave impetus to some memorable acronyms, prompted by situations confronting soldiers on a daily basis.

    BTW, are there any teachers who do not know the meaning of SNAFU and FUBAR?

    I'm thread jacking a little here, but I thought I'd ask here instead of making a whole new post; is fore mostly a word, or words? This is the sentence it is in:
    What I disliked about the book fore mostly was the explicit language. Although Christopher’s photographic memory and exact wording is taken into consideration, it does not justify the reason why the author included it in the first place.

    Sound okay?
    Thanks
