I don't use them either and I think that maybe less people are going down that road? I sincerely hope so!

I ve said before, I hate acronyms, I don’t use them and the more new members who don’t use them the better in my mind so welcome Isabelle and I hope you don’t get drawn in to using them either They are not obliqutory

I find the excessive use of acronyms very annoying. Too many make the user look semi-literate.

IMHO re "Am I Being Unreasonable", my mother taught me that when you ask a question like that, you usually know the answer (Yes). grin

Welcome to Gransnet, Isabelle.

Yes, some people use them to excess, in my humble opinion. I've seen sentences where every second word is an acronym.

I find the use of acronyms quite frustrating as I keep having to look them up, there is a list of acronyms used here under the gransnet forums heading.

New member here. So far amazed at the sensible questions and answers. Here is my daft question.

What does AIBU mean and what does BU mean. Thank you.
