Jargon, to pee you off! The rule should be if you use acronyms put the full words in first then put the acronym in brackets just after. You can then use the acronym there after and have half a chance of knowing what is being said. Text speak is the other annoyance, you might as well put it in full.

(text speak is great. Saves me loads of time) My daughter marks me at 90% for text interpretation. Still annoying though.

It's a bit like swearing for punctuation, makes you appear a bit of an uneducated chimp.
