That's right, I think I'm suffering from TMA, or "To Many Acronyms".
Do you ever find yourself read an interesting post only to find you have to pause to translate what seems to be a random collection of lettes?
Or do you ever find yourself attempting to translate an apparent acronym only to figure out it's only a misspelled word.
Oh sure, I know there is a translation list, but quite often folks invent new ones that just aren't on the list. Then there are the acronyms with multiple translations.
I contend that many of us are suffering from TMA.
Consider the following ---- "One day while on my way to the CP I decided to go to the CP instead. Later, while at CS I decided I wanted DD before going to DD with DD for a CS meal, so I stopped by DI before going to DI". Does that make sense?
Or would it make more sense if it read ---- "One day while on my way to the Candlelight Processional I decided to go to the Crystal Palace instead. Later, while at Coronodo Springs I decided I wanted Disney Dollars before going to Downtown Disney with Dear Daughter for a Counter Service meal, so I stopped by Disney Institute before going to Discovery Island".
Is it just me?????
