We speak a language everyday and not aware of it. "What goes up must come down" ....an old saying,an old law of nature every one knows.If there is a rise,surely there will be a downfall,it says,and if there is a tall building that has been erected ,on the contrary, there is a short building that has been in existence,if there is a longhand writing,of course,there is also a shorthand way of doing it. Shorthand symbols are most likely written with similarities like those of arabic alphabets,and not every body has acquired the learning or training and practice it as their own professional ways of making their living. But most of the time of our lives,we usually encounter not only the shorthand symbols but also those acronyms and abbreviations and even numerals,which,when perceived by the readers/listeners can readily stand alone and easy to understand,no further explanations needed and have become part of our daily conversations and newspaper companies have also adapted the same styles of using them.in printing news items.(printing inks savings)  ,now, those same newspaper companies find it easy to print DENR with subcribers's full understanding without the need of printing it in full alphabetical meaning.Acronyms,abbreviations,numerals are generally accepted sets of norms of communications,representing a record,a name,or an organization with each letter pronounced separately or are pronounced as a word,like,NBI for National Bureau of Investigation and NATO for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, respectively.Speaking of NATO,if you happened to have watched the movie of Angelina Jolie as an undercover agent in SALT,there were lot of computer programs's abbreviations used when those strategic US global missiles were being launched by another agent but, was finally aborted by Jolie. Each one of us belongs to a certain field of specializations or maybe a plain chatter,a student,an office worker/professional or that simple man sitting complacently in one corner of the street watching those professional bums crossing the road. And if you are,say for example,in medical field of specialization,certainly,those terms like 120/80 for BP,50/50 for ICU patients ,RN,MD,for registered nurse and medical doctors respectively,are not strange words/terms for you to comprehend. And whether you are seeking a hospital admission,ER,for sure is the first station you should go and when you bill out,don't be silly asking the man behind you on the queue, the meaning of COD sign found hanging above the cashier's window,or when you see patient getting a DOA card ,don't again be so stubborn ,laughing or cracking a joke with your friends when you stand beside the patient's bed,or else you will get lynched by the relatives. Some abbreviations/acronyms/numerals are so popular that no further elaborations are needed,of course just like those instances when we were in college,we always despised the feelings of seeing letters "F" and numbers "5" in our report cards.  but we owed a lot of explanations to our parents.Comprehensions of some of those acronyms/abbreviations come really like in forms of cliquey conversations,i mean ,limited only to certain affiliations or exclusive to one grouping.. Like in my own case for example,as a trader ,we use abbreviations distinct from other commercial terms or Incoterms,such terms as: CIF-MNL,CNF,FOB,EXW,DDP,DDU,when i mean other commercial terms, i'm referring to; COD,30D,45D,COD-7,PDC-30.etc. Each one has a complete significance in Pro Forma Invoices and can ,again, stand alone, binding and enforceable to both parties I'm sure each one of us has his own story to share about acronyms/abbreviations that are completely messing up with our lives everyday. A driver was apprehended because he violated a traffic sign of MAX 100 KPH and he knew it,he was driving at his top speed of 150 KPH A chatter posted an FU message against another chatter and got retaliated ,he received the message STFU..  Every one in the street knows Napoles was charged of PDAF anomalies,but when a man was asked what's the meaning of PDAF,he just shook his head turned around and then walked away. BTW,I GTG,will BBL,TY,and don't ask me to HB because from NLEX,where i stay right now,gonna be hitting EDSA off to NAIA for my 10:45 AM PAL flight for Cebu,hope MMDA,DPWH and PNP are now in full control of the traffic jams because of the ongoing road repairs along EDSA,GBU,TY,CYA,

Hi Jorge.. u r korek! different disciplines speak different languages. Just like me I can speak of PEMDAS of my newly found friend B ^e= N or If P then Q... or my X is still at large! o kaya LV or RV, RA or LA sa puso.. But we Pinoys, we understand each other.. just like saying "Tatlo nga po sa bente.".. Ilulon mo ngA UNG BANIG ...Tingin pa lang, me sinasabi nA kaya di na need ang acronyms. and wordy words..like your post! happy hugs.. susan
