How to navigate the social media glossary

Over 100 terms you may want to review- So it's no secret, I am not a fan of Acronyms to the viral disease level they seem to be constantly spreading. Being a sci-fi fan (not an A word just a 'Syllabification' from way back, (yes trekkie era would be appropriate; and predictably sad as 'trekkie' is now in the dictionary. People it was a TV show, not history, not a cultural phenomena). 

I can foresee the day when we will all speak in acronyms, as 'real' words take too long to say. That will be a sad, ugly day! Hopefully I will not have chosen to come back as a techie. There seems to be an underground business movement to take over the English language and reduce it to a new class of society that will exclude all those not knowing the meaning of their new language. Yes, we all thought it would end with FYI, and ASAP as nifty little time savers, but they were the trojan horses carrying the myriad of acronyms waiting to be activated. Ah yes, yet another way to divide and label we who were once connected, through language, as human beings.

There may be a science fiction story out there that uses this theory as the basis of their book. I haven't read any and my guess is it would be way too boring a subject, so no one has taken it on. But what happens if you don't embrace Acronyms? You may very well be able to perform the task the acronym implies but if you can't speak acronyms or know what they mean no one will listen to you and/or you will be seen as completely inadequate.

Here's how you turn this into a win-win situation: 
1. Learn the acronyms you need to know to 'impress' those that are necessary to impress with this stuff... BUT
2. Every time you use one spell it out, enclosed by parentheses marks. Thereby providing an education for weary non-technical people, and destroying the time saving reason you used the Acronym in the first place.
Brilliant!!!!
All that being said here's a great source to get to know our 'new friends, the acronyms'!
