Abbreviations are great, but I have to agree with Carolyn about forgetfulness. But rather than call it forgetfulness I usually call it Some Timers' Disease.
My grandkids just roll their eyes! Because I fell off of scaffolding 20 years ago and broke my neck I use speech recognition to talk to my computer, and it has a difficult time with abbreviations-so I really have to double check that what I said it is what it is supposed to be. Not too long ago on another form I wanted to put BRF (abbreviations for our stallions name) and did not check the subject line and in nice large letters it proclaimed BARF
Not a very good advertisement. Have a great day everyone. Joan still in a very cold spring Reno with winds that are supposed to be 70 MPH today
