I wouldn't have known some of the acronyms you've just pointed out if not

I have read many books written by American authors, so I have 'realize' in my mind. But while I live having Torsten as coach more I learn.
Thanks, my teacher! |

Hi,
The secret of a good advertisement in a newspaper is to say it in as few words as you can. That way you cut the cost down. And even better is if you can use abbreviations. If you're trying to sell your house, it's a good idea to use these shortened forms: gdn for garden lge for large, bds for bedrooms and so on. It's probably just as well people don't actually talk like that

Hi all,
Thx for sending us regularly an essay I really appreciate it; by the way I want to share and ask if the word NEWS is an abreviation or not i.e from the North Est West South.

Hi Alan,
As a parent, I never thought I would realize the benefits in the use of acronyms; since it's the language of text messaging. |
