Help with clarity, please
 
To the esteemed members of this Political Debating Society.

Let me ask for for your assistance, please, in welcoming new debaters. Many may not feel welcome because you all seem to understand things the rest of us don't. Acronyms!

If you don't use unrecognizable acronyms, I would hope that more people would ultimately jump in and post their thoughts. Those acronyms have a clubby sound, but even worse, we don't know what you mean.

FBI? We know that.
CIA? No problem.
GOP? Got it.
MSM? We outsiders have no idea.

Please take the extra five seconds to spell them out at least once in a post.

Have pity on we political neophytes. Now I'm getting out of the political forum.

Tony, thank you, thank you, thank you:bowdown:

It took me a few days to figure out what POTUS was?? :ohdear:

I am such a dummy. Those acronyms used to drive me crazy in corporate America, I never could remember what they were. I'm always so lost!! Please guys you are so smart and I want to learn, try to 'splain things for me. Thanks, K.

Guest 03-01-2009 09:10 AM

I finally figured out POTUS. But it took a long time. So Kathie, please do not feel like the Lone Ranger. I bet there is a little dictionary of political acronyms out there somewhere.

I had to laugh when I awoke in the middle of the night and yelled, "EUREKA! IT MEANS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"

I can sure operate in a fog sometimes. Or in a hurry.

Hah! You think you are in danger. Mr. Boomer is hanging over my shoulder looking at this and he keeps spouting military acronyms. They are not very nice. I am in danger of typing them.

And after the first one and before the last one, there is JANFU.

Guest 03-01-2009 09:37 PM

Ahhh . . . ladies.

Please do not go lower, you will encourage Fumar to reach yet lower, and I don't want to have to wrestle with him over pilot terms that I suspect would spice up the thread. He is bigger and stronger than I am.

Why Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir: Whatever do you mean? All I said was "Joint Army-Navy Foul Up."

There are some others though that I will not type.

Boomer will be a lady, tonight.

But Wait!!! Pilot terms? Did you say pilot terms? Pilot terms are always the most gentlemanly from what I know.

Guest 03-01-2009 09:58 PM

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what I meant.

Dear Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir:

And I know that what I meant is what Whalen meant, too. We are ladies, we are.
